🕒 Are We Still Clock-Watching in 2023?

Would you pass up your dream candidate simply because they were 20 minutes late for an interview and didn't notify you in advance?🤔

"Early is on time, on time is late, and late is unacceptable." Those words still echo in my ears, a priceless lesson from my first boss when I was washing pots. At that time, if you were late, you were out.

But as we fast-forward to 2023, amid tech revolutions and a growing emphasis on 'smarter, not harder', humanising the workplace and offering more flexibility—the definition of professionalism is ever-changing.

🕒 That first boss never failed to watch the clock as I walked in, reminding me, "Early is on time; on time is late; and late? Unacceptable." Those words were my first lesson in professionalism. They shaped me, but are they outdated?

As our work culture leans more towards emotional intelligence, flexibility, and adaptability, is it time to reassess our traditional paradigms?
