I wasn’t arguing any different. By all means leave on time.

But this is part of why it is disrespectful. Look at nurses. If you are late, patients in a hospital can’t just go without care. So that means the prior shift is asked to stay later. That’s just one example.

I was solving a DNS issue that I resolved at 5.12 yesterday. If I had knocked off on time the website would still be down until January 2nd.

  So, you should get overtime.

    I mean for that I’d have to be hourly, I’m salaried, which often works in my favor tbh. If I charged my hourly rate they’d find ways to nickle and dime me and be watching my productivity much more closely.

I get where you’re coming from. It is nice to your fellow employees to be on time to relieve them. That’s just being a solid team player.

But again, every team or job I’ve had understands if I’m a little late cause they know I’m putting in the work when I get there. Shit, after I got into a motorcycle accident and was bleeding down my side I still had the driver take me to work to talk to my boss. Stayed until the concussion made me leave haha. My boss at the time would tell that story to people who were a bit sluggish. Saying how even on the worst days there’s no reason to not give it your all since YourPartnerInCrime came in half dead.

In hindsight it was a bit dumb. But, don’t complain about me being 5 to 10 minutes late. I’ll be there and I’ll give it all.

  I understand if it’s occasional. But constantly means you are not giving it all. Sorry, I just hate lateness. I am almost never late, but am constantly waiting on people that cannot meet at an agreed upon time. It just wastes my time and shows me they think their time is more important than mine. It’s a pet peeve.
  
  I’m all for flexibility and flextime when it can be granted. But if you agree something happens at a certain time, it should happen at that time.
