How close to your start time do you arrive at work

[skyactiv]

I bust in the parking lot and have one or two minutes to spare before it's time to clock in.

 

[Linctex]

At LEAST 20 minutes early -
or I'll have to park so far away that it's a 10 minute walk!!

I'm often 1/2 hour early - I can change a flat in 10 minutes.....
so that way If I change a flat, I'm still early enough to get a good parking space.

I use the extra time to send emails/text messages/look at new baby pictures on facebook.......
or just sit and think about life.

I'm always on time when I walk in, no matter what time I walk in.

Salaried.

I hear you. I can get as much if not more work done while at home.

 

[aquariuscsm]

I like to arrive about 30 minutes early.

 

[BAJA_05]

Half hour, that way I can get a good pass down from previous shift.

I get there 6:50-7AM, don't really have to be there until the 8:30 "morning huddle" conference call, but I'm on commission and get a bunch done before anyone else gets to the office and starts distracting me.

I work now as Cloud Application Architect. In the last 15 years there really has never been a set time to start. Generally start working between 7-10am dependent on day.

No official start time for me, as I'm paid by % of the load. As long as I get a full day in, that's all that matters.

 

[CT8]

Half hour early. At starting time I am ready to go!

Same here, usually between 6:00 and 6:20 am. The hourly workers start at about 8:00 but the company isn't strict about start/stop times. The trade-off is sometimes I don't go home until 8:00 pm and am not compensated.

One place I worked you could clock in 3 mins early or late, even as a dept. supervisor.

 

[addyguy]

About 5-10 minutes.

 

[14Accent]

Work at 8 am. Out of bed at 7:30, walk in the door at 7:55. Punch in and do my morning duties on the commode. Start working around 8:15.

Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, so I do my business on the boss' time.

 

[ZZman]

About 15-20 minutes. Need to get dressed and "drop the kids off in the pool".

 

[Lolvoguy]

I usually show up exactly on time, or about 5-10 minutes early.
Gives me time to get my lunch in the fridge, boot up my PC, and get my breakfast laid out.

 

[JHZR2]

I start work when I get there.

 

[RitcheyRch]

I start work when I get there and am normall about 15 minutes early.

 

[opus1]

Salaried and flex-time. I start when I get there.

I also make the coffee since I'm usually the first one in.

 

[bruckus]

I arrive to the parking lot about 20 minutes early, relax in the car and have a little snack. Head in a couple minutes before the bell.

The different routines are interesting. Always 15-20 minutes early, I'm working at 5am start time. Others come out of the break room around 5.15 and get themselves going. Boss allows it so whatever. Not me, I'm paid for a 10 hour day so I work it. Don't stop 5-10 minutes early for breaks either. How I was raised and who I am. Also had my own business for 17 years and was always well early and expected my employees to be on time and work an honest day.
