You need a serious attitude adjustment when it comes to your work ethics.
* attitude adjustment: a change in one’s
way of thinking
ex> The coach gave the lazy players
extra laps around the field as a sort of attitude adjustment.
I get where you’re coming from, but I was only a little late. There’s no
need to get so worked up about it.
* where sb is coming from: another’s
point of view
ex> The rich factory owner dismissed
the striking workers as lazy because he couldn’t see where they were coming
from.
Actually, I don’t think you do. So here’s
the deal: if you are late one more
time by as little as five minutes and you don’t have a doctor’s note, then you’re
fired.
* the deal: the way things are going to
be from this point forward
ex> So here’s the deal: You do
all the work and I will take all the credit.
Can’t you just read me the riot act and move on?
* read sb the riot act: to reprimand
severely
ex> The judge read the lawyer the
riot act for not showing up to court.
It sounds to me like you’ve sealed your own fate. Either resolve to
be at work on time, or clean out your desk now.
* seal one’s fate: to do or say
something that will affect one’s future
ex> With the stroke of a pen, the
founding fathers of the U.S. had sealed their fates.
