Nickel-And-Diming Your Timing

I used to work in retail. At the time, I didn’t drive and had to depend on the bus system and cabs. They knew this when they hired me and said it was no problem.

Every time I was a couple of minutes late, I would make up the time at the end of the day. This became a problem for just one manager. When he wrote me up for being late after a glowing performance review, I quit.

It was worth it to see the shocked look on his smug face as he tried to backtrack out of the write-up.
