Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
As a manager, tardiness is inexcusable.

Party Animal

Feelings Contest Winner 
 
Being prompt and punctual
is what makes cultures functional 
So it's inexcusable 
to not show up on time!
 
While you sit and contemplate 
what clothes to wear,
while others wait,
you don't care if you are late 
but those who wait DO mind!
 
Always late with some excuse.
My phone was dead!
I spilled my juice!
No reminders, what's the use?
I know that you'll be tardy!
 
You've blown off entire dinners,
missed awards where WE'RE the winners!
But you're early,
front and center,
at the after party.
