It is acceptable if you reach late for work. Missing
by a day or two without information is also acceptable at times. What may be
held as a criminal offence though, is reaching work in time, with perfect
attendance but, in your monkey suit. You cannot be shabby in the office and
there is no two ways about it. You cannot be dull, drab or lifeless because you
may end up scaring clients’ away thinking they have mistakenly visited a
morgue.
