Now,we all love our office jobs but one Spanish woman has taken things to a completely different level.

She just got the sack for clocking in 40 minutes before she was due to start,despite pleas from her boss to arrive later.

The 22-year-old employee had been warned for two years to stop arriving between 6.45am and 7am – a full 40 minutes before she was due in.

Despite being told she wasn’t allowed to clock in or begin work ahead of her 7.30am start time,she kept showing up at dawn with nothing to do.

Her boss eventually lost patience and sacked her for serious misconduct,arguing that her relentless early-bird routine meant she wasn’t actually contributing to the company – only ignoring instructions.

The woman appealed to the Social Court of Alicante in Spain,insisting her dismissal was unjustified.

But judges heard that she had ploughed on with her routine even after multiple verbal and written warnings.

She arrived early on at least 19 occasions.

On some days,she even tried to log in through the company app before she reached the office. 

Her employer also accused her of a separate breach of trust: selling a used company car battery without permission.

The court said this added to the pattern of disloyalty.

In its ruling,the court backed the company,saying that the issue wasn’t her ‘excessive punctuality’.

Her stubborn refusal to obey workplace rules was a serious breach under Article 54 of the Spanish Workers’ Statute,the court ruled.
