(8,646 posts)At my work, they don't get even a little upset at late arrivals. Most of us are usually 10-20 minutes early most days, so they factor that in to the times, roughly once a month (twice in the winter usually), that we are late because of accidents. We are in a central location, so all routes that lead to my work are very congested and busy. One time, there was a fatality and they closed down the highway that turns into the main route in the city. Every side street we tried to take was even more congested. It took us 2 hours to get to work that day. As my boss said, it happens. Even some of the people that take the bus might be late twice a week, and that's okay so long as they usually come in early. They can't control the busses and I can't control when they shut down roads because of fatalities. Your company's point system sucks. You should be able to accumulate more points if you are generally early. What a crock of shit. My sympathies.
