In some fields, this behavior would just lead to someone else having to do your work. Not very cool

I feel like for some employers this is a one way thing, come in 10 minutes late? How dare you breach our contract. Oh you have to stay 10 minutes late because a meeting has overrun? It’s part of the job!
Obviously not all employers are like this, but there are so many that are and don’t afford you the same flexibility that you have to give them in their eyes.

Coming to work 10 minutes later than the agreed time is just not on time as finishing 10 minutes later. Both can happen once in a while and I’m general I don’t see an issue, e.g. there’s been an accident on the road you use to work? Not your fault, but you weren’t there on time. 10 minutes of more work because something that nobody has on their radar came up? Also ok but also not on time.
It’s a totally different thing to say “sorry I’m late, I’ll make up for it by covering for you next time you need to leave a bit earlier” and “10 minutes later is basically on time”. Same if a boss says “Sorry this took longer today, just come in later another day” which is fine vs “a little bit of extra work has never hurt anybody” or “your own fault you didn’t finish the task during agreed hours”
