Plus: Is it proper to play cards in a restaurant?
A friend gave me a gift that had obviously been recycled, possibly more than once. When I opened it, a card fell out — dated 1995.The item itself was in good shape, unused, but the box was showing a little wear. Internet research revealed that this item has not been manufactured in at least 10 years.
I am thinking of giving it to another friend who can use it and who does not know the friend who gave it to me. Because of the nature of my workplace, there is no set 9-5 rule; nevertheless, some colleagues appear to think it’s necessary to follow that schedule. For all other workdays, I feel I should be able to arrive later and leave earlier, as long as my work is not suffering. But I still feel guilty when I do so.For what it’s worth, my boss primarily judges employees based on performance and not the number of hours put in on any given day.
