On Stealing – Stealing Work Hours is Stealing

Okay, let’s just say this. Coming late, leaving early, extending breaks and surfing the net (March Madness, anyone?) on company time is stealing. Plain and simple. Oh, sure, there’s comp time, but the rest of it is just wrong. And while we’re at it, what about being habitually late for meetings? In that case we are stealing multiple people’s time. Here’s the deal. We can’t complain about corporate greed, crooked politicians, and identity theft if we are also guilty of stealing. Let’s clean it up.

Repeat this: Starting with me, stealing is stealing. I will take personal responsibility for my use of time.
