Boss…Or Attendance Monitor?
Don’t you hate it when…
Your boss is obsessive about making sure every employee shows up precisely on time—or early—each morning as if that is the criteria to determine an outstanding worker. “You must be in by 9!” he orders. He doesn’t care if you stayed in the office until midnight the night before to complete an urgent project. He doesn’t give you some slack because you wrote a compelling report or brought in some new business or helped save an account in jeopardy. Nope. It’s 9:01 a.m. and he’s standing at your cubicle or doorway checking his watch. But of course, he pretends he’s stopping by to greet you with a phony “Good morning.”
Wouldn’t you love to…
Make your boss’s morning visits something enjoyable instead of a daily annoyance. If he’s so concerned with seeing you bright and early, he should show his concern by serving you and everyone else on his “greeting list” donuts and coffee. Instead of giving orders, let this human time clock take orders like, “Scrambled eggs, crisp bacon and rye toast.” Everyone will enjoy coming to work on time when the boss/attendance monitor turns into the breakfast monitor.

Besides waiting at your desk, the boss is also making sure she/he has absorbed into the brain, every piece of personal info you've left out on your desk! And, I just love the comments when you are a tad late... like "Gee, I didn't hear that there was any train trouble this morning"! Arrrgh...
