Wry Observation

Going to share thoughts about punctuality and Pinoys (a combination that leaves much to be desired). To those with a weak sense of humor, pass on, this ain't for you....

A senior production manager (PM) shared with me her policy on keeping time during the first days we worked together:

"If you're early, you're on time.
If you're on time, you're late.
If you're late, it's unaccepatble."


A bit scary; bordering on obsessive compulsive (OC) behavior. But when given second thought, it's really a considerate gesture to people who are giving you their time.

The twisted logic of the Filipino psyche would probably modify this to its taste:

"If you're late, you're on time.
If you're on time, you're early.
If your're early, you're stupid."


I DARE you to tell me this isn't true....
