This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

adequate time to get ready

But doesn't that depend on you? If you arrive earlier you have more time

I don’t get paid to arrive earlier, so it’s gonna depend on them for me dawg

I would've figured work starts once you're ready for work. If that includes showering and you need more time for that, you should come earlier so you can shower.

To me it's no different from taking the time to shower at home. You can sleep later if you don't shower but I take the time. No pay for that though.

While I was mostly joking with my comment and the context of having to bike to work in a hot climate.

I agree with you initially, that works starts when you’re ready to work. I think that definition of ready is a little subjective.

As far as I’m concerned the moment I deviate from my normal non-working behavior is when I am starting work.

Realistically I feel that begins at the commute to work for me, I have some personal bias here since I have an hour long commute when I do. I work from home a lot of the time, so again that also skews my perception of when I “start” work.

Well that sucks.

Figure it out.

[–] Kalothar@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oh I have it figured out.

You probably should do the same.
