People think they have found a loophole in the policy that will benefit employees<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Sometimes, being late to work just can\u2019t be helped, especially thanks to those pesky train strikes or your alarm simply not going off.<\/p>\n

But some companies clearly take this issue very seriously, with one deciding to take extreme lengths to teach their late-running staff members a lesson.<\/p>\n

In a video posted on\u00a0TikTok<\/a>, someone has shared their\u00a0company\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0newest policy that aims to penalise employees for coming into work late.<\/p>\n

But upon closer inspection, it looks like they didn\u2019t quite think the new rule all the way through.<\/p>\n

Callie, known as @_cal_cifer, is a content creator on the\u00a0social media<\/a>\u00a0platform and shared a screenshot of the policy and recorded her reaction to it, revealing why the company might be in trouble after implementing it.<\/p>\n

Other users also shared their annoyance at the unnamed business having almost no problem in finding ways to cut labour laws and essentially do something illegal in such a blatant way.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0American<\/a>\u00a0content creator introduces the\u00a0viral<\/a>\u00a0video, which has over 185k views, by calling the segment \u2018Companies Must Be on Crack\u2019 \u2013 catchy.<\/p>\n

In the background is the image of a paper notice put up by the employer in question, which she begins to read: \u201cNEW OFFICE RULE, For every minute you are late for work, you will be required to work for 10minutes after 6pm. For example, if you arrive at 10:02, you will have to stay an extra minutes until 6:20pm.\u201d<\/p>\n

And at the end of the notice is one of the most passive aggressive uses of the word \u2018thanks\u2019 you\u2019ll have ever seen.<\/p>\n

The rule left several viewers furious. (Tiktok\/@_cal_cifer)<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It is a bizarre rule that would be sure to send most workplaces into riot, as Callie stated: \u201cI don\u2019t know what you\u2019re thanking me for because I would literally never do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Admittedly, the suggestion that they\u2019re ready to penalise you by 10 times the amount you\u2019re late for is quite ridiculous, which is what has got Callie and other viewers so fired up.<\/p>\n

She asked: \u201cFirst off, how do you equate a minute to 10 minutes?<\/p>\n

\u201cLike the policy would be insane enough as is if it was one minute for one minute, but the fact that you\u2019re saying for every individual minute that you are late, you have to work ten extra minutes? [That] makes this absolutely insane.\u201d<\/p>\n

Callie also highlighted that management probably aren\u2019t going to follow these same rules, making it even more unfair on employees.<\/p>\n
