As we all know, there’s those who are fairly organized 24/7 and
on time, and those who are the total opposite.
Yet, there are so many aspects of all over our lives that requires that
we be on time ! The #1 one requirement
is usually work.
Our jobs need us to be on time for many reason ! In reality, tardiness affects everyone.
1)
Being late, often causes others to have to stand
around till the late comers “decide to” arrive !
2)
Not only loss of time, there’s company money (possible
bonus)
3)
And … To show respect of others time/money !
An article from CBR,
Creative Business Resource:
“What does tardiness do to a company? Does it really make any difference to anything? Do happy employees with relatively unstructured days truly produce more effectively? Is widespread, chronic tardiness of any major concern to the welfare of the company or even to the welfare of the staff?
Although not customarily acceptable in our society, chronic, minor tardiness is largely ignored in most companies, but tardiness can be a sign of significant productivity loss, of employee low-motivation or satisfaction, and of ineffective or unhealthy management techniques.
If that employee is 15 minutes late every day, his direct cost to the company would be $4,692 per year, based on a 48 week work-year for lost productivity. Of course, in all likelihood, that employee would expect to see at least a $5,000 annual raise in his pay envelope for the next year (if the company’s lucky). What a coincidence! Management already gave it to him and just threw it away!” And folks wonder WHY companies can’t give you a raise !

Another article,
Professor’s House-life-home-memories:
“Chronic tardiness problem … Put you in a perpetual state of
chaos and haste, but you may convey a message to friends and coworkers that you do not value
their time … a sign of disrespect!
When you make a commitment to another human to show up for
work at 9 AM or meet at the local coffeehouse at 10:15, you are telling them –
yes…I’ll be present to meet and spend time with you. With your job, you are
establishing yourself as available for work, production, listening, and
critical thinking. With a friend, you are allowing shared time for talking and
listening, perhaps even problem sharing. When you are late to arrive, you cut
into that promised time because something else has captured your body and mind.
This “something else” keeps you from holding your commitment
to another person, and it is keeping you from them because you choose to let it. Yes, you alone allow
that other ‘thing’ to control you and
that is what prevents you from keeping an appointment.
Please note, once you are late over and over again, you are
giving yourself this label … A label that you do not have the respect of others
to be on time. If you are sitting there
saying that you do have this respect, then also know, unless YOU CHOOSE TO PROVE
IT, then others will then determine your action on their own !
You not only does being late cause havic in your own life, you
are causing it for others. You cause
others to get behind on their schedule.
Just the fact that you are late, causes added anxiety for the person
waiting !
If want YOU ARE CHOOSING TO DO affects
others, then it’s not only your life you are affecting ! And just cause folks don’t tell you, they
could be just trying to hold down their anxiety from getting worse than it is
! Or they’re not bringing it up, cause
they are possibly tired of hearing themselves repeat this to you over and over,
for you to NOT
HEAR IT ONCE AGAIN !
If you say you don’t really care what others think ? WE ALREADY KNOW THAT !
YOU’RE LOUD AND CLEAR ! You
don’t choose to respect others and you come 1st.
