To reinforce discipline at work, my manager now asked all the staff to go to the office on time; otherwise people will be punished. He set an example by arriving very early in the morning.
However, his deputy, whom we have long suspected of having a crony relationship with the manager, seems to escape the rule. For the past week, he was never on time, often 30 minutes late. If another staff behaves like this, our boss would criticize him very publicly - as he did two days ago. However, for some reason, our boss said nothing to his deputy. Thus either he came late without an explanation or he arrived, saying that the train was late, and the boss seemed to agree.
To be honest, some of us feel disdained by this preferential treatment. Although we have no complaint about the boss himself, we think he should be firm with this deputy. We want to speak out. But given that these two people have shown how close they are to each other, we're afraid any confrontation will disadvantage us.
What is your advice?
Start asking to speak to the deputy every morning right about the time he or she is supposed to be there. Not every morning but maybe two or three times a week. Get everybody to do it. Ask the boss if the boss has seen the deputy yet.
hmmm we are all here.... where is....oh.... here he comes,,,,
It will take about three to four requests before things change.
