Do Not Operate on “CP Time”
CP Time, or Colored People Time, is a running joke about punctuality. You might get away with being late to your friend’s party or your cousin’s BBQ, but please — for the sake of professionalism — be on time for work. Make sure you have an alarm, give yourself ample time to get ready, beware of traffic and transportation delays, and be punctual. By being tardy, you’re not only jeopardizing your job, but you’re annoying the heck out of everyone else.
