[header] How to please your boss [title] Arrive early. [step] Make your boss happy by arriving on time or early every day and not calling in sick unless it's absolutely necessary. Showing up early lets the boss know you are devoted to your job and that he or she can rely on you to take accountability for your actions. 
Not needing the boss to monitor you will reflect positively on you. If you do show up late, make sure you're truly apologetic and show that you know that this is not acceptable.
