Employee tardiness takes a huge toll on the business and other employees. It also affects someone’s reputation and reliability which will hinder their ability to get promotions or other work-related rewards. Being late to work all the time can also affect employee morale because it forces other workers to work harder. Plus, it ruins the reputation of the business when the employees fall behind when trying to make up for the late worker.
An individual’s reputation and reliability are being affected by a parking lot. The students who have to work right after school will almost always be late because it takes forever to get out of the parking lot. This prevents them from getting good employee evaluations and promotions. Their tardiness also affects their co-workers and the business itself. Relationships with their co-workers are affected since their co-workers have to pick up the slack. Essentially, our school parking lot is affecting students’ jobs.

Parking lots are designed to provide safe and efficient access to your destination. They should be rectangular in shape and use the majority of the space that is available. Parking stalls should be used around the perimeter and traffic lanes should go through two lanes of stalls. A well designed parking lot will not have many traffic or congestion issues. Parking angle is another thing to consider when designing your parking lot. Also, the material used to pave the lot will determine how much maintenance will be required. Drainage planning in the parking lot is important as well. Overall, the Grassfield High School parking lots were well thought out and functional. They are rectangular in shape and make the most out of the space available. However, they could be even better. Instead of forcing over two hundred cars out of one exit, they could have added a second exit. A simple fix to a big problem. Not only is the entire junior lot trying to get out at the same exit all at once, but half of the senior lot uses that exit. The school itself only has two entrances and two exits. For a school of over two thousand students, this is not enough. Adding an additional exit to the back of the junior lot will enable them to choose which exit they want to use. This will decrease the amount of cars going through each exit at one time and will benefit the

    Free parking? It sounds like an idea too good to be true, and that’s because quite possibly, it is. At least that’s what Donald Shoup argues in “Yes, Parking Reform is Possible”. A public policy which allows an extensive amount of parking in a crowded city at little to no cost, regardless of budgets or consequences, will have serious negative effects to a community. Shoup predicts that we can achieve major social, economic, and environmental advantages at virtually no expense merely by subsidizing people and places, rather than parking.…

    Los Angeles has the reputation of having the worst traffic in the world, and of course, everyone would spend more time tapping brakes on freeways if it was Thanksgiving. The picture of the jammed 405 Freeway depicts the Thanksgiving rush in Los Angeles well, and people make fun by saying that the freeway 405 has the name because “it takes you '4 o' 5' hours to get anywhere.” () Driving on Freeway 405 is infuriating not only because drivers have to drive slowly, but also because when everyone wanted to get back home as soon as possible, some people would change lanes, and lead to car accidents. In addition, since families want everyone to be back home around dinner time, they can get mad at a member who arrives late and claims that he or she could leave from work earlier. Yes, having to drive slowly is annoying, but what really touches people’s nerves is that people act upon their interests without trying to understand each other.…

    1) What are some of the things ( behaviours) that you did or didn't do this week that kept you in your integrity? On my first week of school, I was speaking to a classmate and discovered she lived in the relative area to me, yet her commute was far longer.

Another example is from the Mahtomedi School District. They made a thirty five minute time delay and they shortened passing periods. Even though they made it so school would start later, it didn’t effect after-school activities and the students had better grades and the attendance…
