My very first employer, When I was 16 I started an apprenticeship, my boss was a very strict man, he stood at the window of his office and wrote down the times we arrived for work, if we were late he would calculate every single minute lost and every three months it would be deducted from our wages. our lunch breaks were 15 minutes and not one minute longer and he came in to check on us to make sure! I learned all about work ethics and discipline from this man and all these years later and he has now passed away, I still have a great respect for him.
