Absolute truth! Your boss will forget the dozen days you stayed after hours, the first time you come in late.

Happened to me, didn’t matter to him that 75% of the time I worked through my lunch, didnt matter that 3-4 times per month I either came in early or stayed late to finish up a task.

One day, I came in 20 minutes late, got called in later that week by my manager to, “talk about my tardiness issue.”
