I bought my habitually late coworker a watch for our Secret Santa gift drive
Why did you do that?
I feel like sometimes they fail to meet expectations because they are always late.
No one is perfect, and I'm sure we've all been late to something at one point, but if your coworker have been constantly being late to work, then I think that a watch might be a very useful gift for him. Have you talked with him why he's always late, though?
I have talked to him previously, he just can't help his tardiness.
It must be very frustrating to have to deal with that from your co-worker. I hope that having a watch on his wrist will help him to keep better track of time, and that this problem will improve in the near future.
