What good looks like -- well, it's not me, perpetually scraping the bottom of the dress code barrel.

Yeah, I dunno. Plenty of folks are in at 830, out at 5. The difference is what they do in betwixt. Besides, if you expect people in early, you have to let them go early, and don't expect anyone to stay late to finish the job.

I'd respect the boss more if he were the last one out or to see who was leaving at 6 or 7 or who works through lunch.

Seems to me if the best thing the CEO has to judge his people on is what time they come through the front door, then he's got a management problem.

What is the "message" being delivered? The CEO is communicating - this firm has rules and you better stick to them.. Never mind the employee who worked 2 hours overtime, missed their child's soccer game, etc and came to work 5 minutes late. The pink slip practice reeks of an autocratic micromanager. Why aren't attendance/puntuality issues discussed at the managerial/supervisory levels? This CEO is saying- forget creativity, forget worth ethic, but remember that I can strike fear into your heart -- I control your destiny... Definitely a nonmotivational approach in the long term
