Take it seriously

I overheard a coworker today complaining about my boss' speech. The particulars of the speech I will not delve into, but there was a remark made about being on time and the tightening on absenteeism. Now, for a bit of preface, I work in a school, therefore my boss is the principal. My principal, as with any working professional, doesn't want to see her employees come into the school when the students are walking in the building. I believe that is reasonable, but with reason there is opposition and with accordance there is resistance. So my peer/coworker believed that her [principal] remarks were a bit unfair and she didn't feel that it was just.

Now, my take on the situation is: We are working professionals. In the classroom we [should] act professionally, in our district meetings we act professionally, we dress professional, we desire respect and professional treatment. Well as a professional, you need to take into consideration that walking in late is not professional at all. In fact, if you worked retail, or wholesale or some kind of other (ale) sounding occupation, the employer would probably fire you for repeating this behavior.

Remedy?

Stop coming in late. Arrange your schedule and take your job seriously. Act like a professional.
