Jokes on them my degree has no bearing on my ability to be on time
Yeah I didn’t show up on time to classes or labs. I just finished my labs first and best so it was fine
Turns out most of the white collar world runs like that too- show up early, late, or not at all; if your deliverables hit the bosses' desk by deadline, you're cream of the crop.
My manager has a bee in his bonnet about people being in on time, and he will come and yell at everybody if he notices someone turning up at about 9:15 rather than 9:00. The thing is he gets in it about 6:00 and then goes home at 3:30 and disappears from about 10:00 till 2:00 on a massive lunch, my official start time is 9:30 but often he isn't actually in the main office, so how the hell does he know if people are turning up on time.
So we don't. He's hasn't noticed.
Yeah I would just find a new job tbh
