Interesting discussion guys, to me it’s all depend on company culture and practice, I have worked in an environment like TS and there’s no other way to deal with that except to follow the norm in the company.. I’m not saying it’s right or wrong but that’s how the company operate and we need to abide by the guideline

On the other hand, you can always leave if you’re not happy with the culture like I did and most companies that I work before or after that never see time to office as an issue or a even a point of discussion, new KPI/SLA is very robust and as long as you achieve your target, complete your deliverables by end of day/week or month no one gonna ask you anything even they didn’t see in office at all and i strongly believe this is a better practice after over 15yrs in employment market. This practice would allow exceptional creativity from the employee and better result.

Don’t really understand your point here.. what sort of mindset you referring to? And from which perspective?

The problem here is not 5-10mins late, it’s continuous lateness and it’s your attitude buddy.. your company has a strict policy either you follow them or like many have said, you have an option to leave. But if you choose to stay and wanted to change the policy and culture all I can say is good luck.

Another interesting things here, you asked an opinion from public forum and you didn’t listen, I don’t expect you to follow or take all the opinions, ppl provide their feedback based on their experience and there’s no right or wrong in that, you have an option to take whichever that applicable to your scenario which only you know best. However you choose to refute them with very unprofessional choice of words.

All I can say to you, all the best! and I believe attitude is most crucial element if you want to go further up.
