    A Short Story

    Lesson in employee relationship

    Steve Cleary was in his early 50's, retired and had started a second career. However, he just couldn't seem to get to work on time. Every day he was 5, 10, 15 minutes late. However, he was a good worker, really clever, so the owner was in a quandary about how to deal with it. Finally, one day he called Steve into the office for a talk.

    'Steven, I have to tell you, I like your work ethic, you do a top class job, but you're being late so often is quite a worry.'

    'Yes, I realize that, sir, and I am working on it.' replied Steve.

    'I'm pleased to hear that, you are a team player. It's odd though, you're coming in late. I know you're retired from the Royal Navy. What did they say if you came in late there?'

    'They said, "Good morning, Admiral".'
    (from Will & Guy's collection of short stories)
