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

Did you not realize everyone else was already there?

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.

How did you not know when it opened? Didn't they tell you when you got the job?

uuuhhh most offices are 8-5 not 9-5 because then you get 8 hours of work and an hour lunch. that's something you always ask when you start a job: "so yea what time do you want me to show up?"

So... you just picked a time off the top of your head? Nobody told you, so you sat down and said "Guess I should be there at 9." Honestly, I'm certain someone told you and you just forgot. At some point in the hiring process, someone tells you your shift.

Sorry OP but YDI for not paying attention to your surroundings

You didn't ask when you were hired what time to show up? you didn't wonder why everyone else was already there when you showed up?

You walk in every day and the entire office is already there. This didn't make you wonder? Wow
