Our new company implemented a way to stop dramatic entrances by putting a log book in the reception area where employees need to sign once they arrive.
No big deal but the catch? The log book is only available until 8:40 am. If you arrive at 8:41, you’ll have to carry on, bring your tardy self to face the HR manager.
This is not exactly good news to me especially now that I have been coming 5-10 minutes late because the roads in my area changes overnight almost on a daily basis! While stuck in traffic, I always tell myself “all these construction and discomforts are for a better Dubai” but with the log book issue at the office, I couldn’t care for the betterment of Dubai blah anymore. All I know is that I have to get myself before 8:40 am no matter what – - the HR manager’s face is not something I want to see to start my day!

I have a feeling that will solve the company’s tardiness problem. Good luck with the traffic!

I’ve always had to clock in with a badge or swipe my card. I know the feeling of not wanting to look at an unhappy managers face to have to sign me in.
Hope the traffic gets better for you!

Oh that is horrible! I remember I worked for a company that did that once. As soon as it is 8:01 and you aren’t at work they would actually put a leave form on your desk! AND you don’t get the day off, just loose the day
that would be difficult – to see the manager face to face every time you’re late. wouldn’t that blow him/her away if you got there so early that the book wasn’t even out yet? just a thought – probably doesn’t apply tho. good luck.
i love these smilies!

later on i think the manager will decide to let go of this blue book. i don’t think he would want to start his day dealing with tardy people…
good luck! i hope you won’t be tardy and deal with him all the time.
