5 Signs That You’ll Receive A Tardiness Memo Very Soon

1. You are running like distressed chicken catching a bus ride to work.

                 Or it could also be sprinting on foot bridges, stairs or elevators. It is really frustrating to do that when you can actually wake up 30 minutes or an hour earlier than your usual daily routine and have more time to enjoy the cool morning smog fog of Metropolitan.  

2. You always use the infamous “traffic jam” cliché to your boss.

                 Tell me a place here in Metro Manila with zero jams and your lunch will be on my tab for a week.  Seriously, come up with a more creative excuse next time you arrive late, like a road mishap involving a truck full of beer and a sisig cart right in the middle of EDSA. Although there were no casualties, tell your boss that you just helped in “cleaning up”. If I am your boss, I will definitely buy that.

3. You prefer cold water over freshly brewed coffee the moment you reach you desk.

                 Imagine arriving in the office and find everyone is enjoying their daily caffeine requirement while you are panting like a dog asking for a cold chug of water.  That does not look like a good morning.

4. Your office utility staff is handing over the cafeteria’s lunch menu even if you just arrived.

                 The heartbreaking part: you were expecting for the breakfast menu. Sigh.

5. You don’t own a watch!

                  You are not tracking down the time and not really conscious about the life policy about tardiness – a workplace mortal sin.

                  Being on time, especially on the professional sphere, reflects your dedication, enthusiasm and passion for your job.

                   As a young urban professional, keeping up with the time will not only give you two thumbs up from your bosses but will also prepare you for a better version of yourself in the future. 

                  Also, yuppies should not just be time conscious but also versatile on the ever changing demand of the professional world.  The ability to adapt based on the required situation is a huge advantage on this competitive world.

                 And it all starts by tracking the time down.
