Punctuality is considered very important in any office. By reaching office on time, work gets done smoothly, meetings start on time and there is no extra burden on other colleagues. This is the reason why most companies expect their employees to reach work on time. But what if an employee keeps time honestly for years and then gets fired just because of a small mistake? A recent incident has sparked a huge debate on social media regarding this question.
Actually, an employee who was never late during his job for about seven years. He always reached office on time and performed his responsibilities properly. But one day it happened that for the first time he reached office late by about 20 minutes. People generally expect that such a small mistake will be ignored or the employee will be warned. But in this case the company took a very strict decision and fired him directly.
