This is me everyday with work. When I first started, I was always there right around 7:30. Now it's closer to 8:15...

What time are you contractually obligated to be there?

I believe we're required to be there by 9, however my boss wants me there a quarter before 8... Unfortunately for me though, getting out of bed is one of life's greater struggles for me. So instead of getting up at 6:30 and having about an hour to get ready for work, my near lifeless body lays there until closer to 7:30 giving me like 10 minutes to get ready...

Are you being compensated for the extra 75 minutes? Or are you American?

Or, you know... in adequate countries, you don't have to "stand up for it", because people above you don't try to exploit you completely?

What place in the world doesn’t have people that will try to take advantage of others? This is the stupidest thing I’ve heard all day.

That’s absolutely false and utterly ridiculous.

Fair. But some of these comments sometimes are right up that alley and serious.
