I was getting supervisor training at one major engineering and construction company (one of the top ten). One of the outrageous lines was that all communication content is 90 percent emotion. This includes discussions that are supposedly primarily about project related technical matters, no, it’s about feeeelings.
Then I ran into one person who thought being expected to show up for work on time was creating a hostile work environment.
LOL! Yup. I had one guy that worked for me after several other supervisors couldn’t control his attendance. I simply told him that if he wanted the job then he needed to be on time everyday. If he failed to do this, I told him that I would document every late arrival and that before long he wouldn’t have the job. I never had any issue with him being late again after that. He was a good worker and I told him I would really hate to lose his work knowledge and expertise but the ball was in his court.
