getting into work at 9 is late?

[TecHNooB]

love flexible work hours i tend to stay later than most though so I have that going for me.

 

[Ryland]

I like being able to get in here when ever I do and leaving when I want (although that usually translates to 8:30-5).

 

[wiredspider]

How do you get a job and not even know what time you are suppose to come in...

 

[PottedMeat]

Only b/c you can't get any hoes.

where's that fritolay pic?

 

[KeithTalent]

Sooooo, you just assumed it was ok to come in at 9:00? :hmm:

KT

 

[PimpJuice]

I just ate some shit

lol

 

[PimpJuice]

where's that fritolay pic?

wow, that pic is long overdue in this thread.

this loser doesn't deserve any real advice cause he just takes offense to it.

My last job was 6 to 2 so I cant relate. But my understanding is most 9 to 5 jobs usually want you in the building a little early. To me 8:30 sounds like you are not working 9 to 5. You're working 8:30 to 5. And they better pay you for it.

 

[dawp]

yup, depends on the work schedule, if he says 8:30, the it's 8:30. did you not ask what the start time was?

And if I got in at 9am, I'd be 9 hours late.

I'm kind of surprised by the number of people expecting to be paid for working 8.5 hours or whatnot. Isn't some casual overtime kind of an expectation for most salaried office jobs?

 

[her209]

congrats you win the prize, idiot

I work in operations consulting (not IT if you care so much). I transferred office to SF bay and kept my job. I am thinking of going to the career fair in the future to see any new opportunities. Not sure where the disconnect is.

Ahh... so 3 weeks at a new job and you're already pissing off the new boss.

 

[SphinxnihpS]

Working for other people sucks ass, which is why I do not and will never again do so. Having someone tell me what to do makes me murderous.

 

[Anubis]

so it sounds like you will be going in at 8:30 on wednsday then

depends on the company i think,

also i cant remember the last time i only worked 40 hours in a 5 day week

Our engineering staff pretty much can come and go as we please. That being said, we are busy as fuck, and if you want to get your work done, you will work lots of hours(paid by the hour), I usually get in around 5:30-5:45, but we have some that roll in at 9:00-9:30. As long as the work is getting done, no one really cares when you show up. The people that come in late, typically stay till 7-8pm, I like to get off early when I'm not busy.

the idea that my company could go under and all I'd have to do is find a new job helps me sleep at night.

My hours are so flexible it's not funny. I come in anywhere between 8am to 10:30am on a regular day. Now that I go to school part-time, I come in anywhere from 11am to 1pm after class.

I'm also the last person, except for my head manager, to leave every day, so eff that. Most people in my office come in for a few hours and take off for various unannounced reasons.

 

[Fingolfin269]

Wow it's been a long time since I thought 9 was an acceptable start time. I get to work between 6:45 and 7:00 for a 7:30 'official' start time.

 

[Corporate Thug]

come and go as you please. let your actions set the tone, not your boss.

 

[cliftonite]

We come and go as we please. I usually start at 7AM and am out by 4/4:30.

 

[CZroe]

Didn't you pay attention to your employee orientation video?

I knew that it would be the S&S vidfrom HB:AoL.

 

[IceBergSLiM]

if I show up before 8am or leave after 5 pm this place is a ghost town.

Is anyone surprised that the OP is having problems adapting to Kahleeforneeya?

He moves across the country, still can't get laid, and now he's in trouble with his new job...

Maybe he should apply here:

I am surprised that the OP didn't have an understanding of what the boss expected. If the boss never made it clear, then as an employee you have to bring it up so you don't have any unpleasant conversations.

This.

Personally, I like to work 7-4 but I now have to get kids to school so I work 8:30-5:30. I let my boss know about the change and he's cool with it. When I was working with guys in Singapore I would routinely work 5:30AM - 3:30 just so I would overlap with them in the morning and we would have a conference call. Our policy is to be available from 10-3 every day, don't miss meeting and do enough work beyond that to get your assignments done.
