Today, I was chastised by the CEO in the middle of a management meeting for showing up late to work every day, despite being in my office before 9:00am every morning. It was my 5th day on the job and no one had bothered to tell me that the office opens at 8:00am, and not 9:00am. FML

Uhm, isn't that, like, the FIRST thing you ask when you get a new job? "So, uh, what time do i show up around here? And when is payday?" Not hard, dumbass.

Um, that's kind of up to you. Idiot. I hope you get fired.

It's not up to your co-workers to tell you what time you start work in the morning. You should have asked, in your interview, what hours you'll be working if the person(s) that is interviewing you doesn't specify. There are a ton of other questions to ask to, but since they don't do with your little story, I'm not going to tell you. You'll just have to figure that out for yourself. :)

Most jobs start at 8 anyway...why would you assume it started at 9? If I didn't know what time the job started (which you should have), I would have gotten there at 7:45, just to be sure.

so its you're CEO or other co-workers' fault for you not having enough sense and work ethic to ask wat time you should be at work to start? you're an idiot and i wouldn't be surprised to see a "Today, i got fired for being a ******** and showing up for work late 5 days in a row at a new job. FML" post later this week, as I'm sure no one else here would either.

HOW did you not know this? When you go for an interview, usually something that is discussed are the hours. YDI for being ignorant.

YDI for not being responsible enough to ask what time work starts. You can't spend your whole life just expecting people to do everything for you. The excuse of "No one told me!" is no excuse at all, when you are perfectly capable of asking someone yourself.

As someone who's had employees almost this stupid (this is rather dumb), let me tell you that not knowing your schedule because it wasn't posted last time you worked is also unacceptable. You know what day the schedule is posted. If you don't work, call in and ask dumbass.
