During my earlier career days,
offices recorded attendance in book registers and we had pay cuts for being late more than 4 times a month and the update was under control of the receptionist.
On one occasion,
our boss appreciated & commended a colleague of mine for drastic improvement for on time attendance, surprisingly just after he moved to a far away home location.
My colleague's instant reaction to my boss was
"Sir the receptionist is coming late to the office"
