My job can put a watch to me, and every job that I've ever had was the same. I'm on time, if not early 99.9% of the time, and when I do take a sick day, they never question it, because they know I'm really sick, this has been the first time in 3 years that I had to take a sick day for myself (dayum flu shot). Actually, I'd only taken 3 sick days in 3 years, and 2 were for my sister being up here with me after Katrina, and the other was for my wife having surgery. At my last job, they made me take time off, because I never did, and they actually felt I would get burned out.
Rain, sleet, snow, HAH! I laugh at that, and the majority of the time, I'm even earlier on snow days. The same with personal days, if I don't have anything to do, then I won't take the day off.
I would say as far as realiblity is concerned, I'm as reliablity as there can be. I don't take off, I'm RARELY late, and I don't abuse the company phone, cell phone, or lap top. Now personal computer at the office, that's another story. LOL
NICE
