Metrology Engineer opening in Scottsdale AZ

Looks interesting on LinkedIn. Bit far of a drive though. 

Damn right, the commute will be a b!tch 

Yeah, I can't imagine how your daily commute to work from where you live would be. You'd be late to work every day!

...already am to my current work, so no improvement there! 

I'm 15 -20 minutes late almost every day where I work. It actually surprises my boss when I show up on time. Luckily the boss is cool and could care less as long as I'm showing up every day and taking care of business. 

To me you have the best boss you could ask for, you are very fortunate. I wish my company was as lax about this as yours is. It would nurture a far better work environment and reduce overall mental stress. Keep at it dude.

I used to work for a company that worked on an attendance point system.  If you are late even a minute you would lose half a point.  You had to clock out if you left the building for lunch, so you could be late twice in the same day if you also returned late from lunch.  Lose 6 points and it was a 1-day suspension.  Lose 9 points and get a 3-day suspension.  Lose 12 points within a year and lose your job. 

Where I work now there are no such rules.  Man does it ever make a difference in my stress levels.  Really, it isn't unreasonable to expect people to be punctual, but I never want to go back to working for a company that is so strict about it.

I believe my company's policy may be just as bad, or worse. We don't have suspensions, but the max is 5 points for termination.

Late in any instance, 1/2 a point. Leaving early 1/2 a point. Unexcused absence 1 point. No-call no-show first time 3 points, second time termination.

Yeesh!  Only 5 points. That is so harsh.  

I saw a guy get 1.5 points in a single day.  He wasn't feeling well and got to work late.  His conditions got worse, and he had to leave early.  The timing of the events was such that he got half a point more than if he just called in for the day.  Dang. 

I used to work at a shop that had a different take on being tardy. This was at a smaller shop so it makes sense. 
If you were even one minute late you had to bring doughnuts for the whole shop. 
If you were 20-30 minutes late you had to bring breakfast sandwiches from McDonalds or something for everyone or stay home. 

We were always very happy when people where late!
