and leaving 30 minutes after work hours is more than enough time compensating.
Depends on the job.
Tell that to the person who is waiting on you to get to work so they can go home…
I have this attitude and it almost cost me the job once
I think it’s important that we kinda remain strict on this, but maintain a sort of implied grace period. If the rules aren’t strictly enforced it creates a slippery slope of people getting to work later and later and thinking it’s ok
Their source was just citing another one of their bogus articles. Which was behind a paywall.
Low effort bait.
Eh, think it depends.
Are coworkers waiting for you to arrive so they can end their own shift? Are others that started on time having to do your work as well as their own until you finally show up? Do you have appointments with clients you are always starting late because you yourself are always late? Then please don’t have this mindset.
None of the above? The time you arrive doesn’t negatively effect others then who cares if you’re running a little late?
Maybe it’s just cause i’m autistic but i personally hate that mindset. I *always* make sure to atleast be 20-30 minutes early somewhere, be it work, school, meeting with friends, etc. If not i feel intense anxiety just looking at the clock during that time.
Which sucks, because people are so normalized to being several HOURS late off schedules.
I don’t know based on their display name I don’t feel like I would trust their opinion
I know people (typically older people) who say that unless you’re half an hour early, you’re late
*then why isn’t the start time listed as a half hour earlier if you’re gonna bitch about it*
These people have clearly never worked shift work
yes, its so hard to be on time for work.
if you show up 10 minutes late, maybe set your alarm for 20 minutes earlier?
and if you show up late again. try 30 minutes, whats so hard?
oh yes, you guys are such bad asses showing up late. what do you want? a million dollars a year to do a job anyone can do? then you will be happy with your job?
Hell no. I’m gen z and if you’re late to anything, be it work, friends , dates, meetings, I just assume you value your time more than anyone elses and are therefore a cock.
I’m Gen-Z, and this is dumb as hell. If you don’t want to show up to work on time, quit and start Ubering or something. I’m not the type to let my boss make me work after hours, so I hold up my end of the agreement and show up on time.Â
Lol listen the bus schedule to my last job either put me there 45-60 minutes early OR up to 10 minutes late (it was usually like 0-5 minutes late).
I asked if I could just work later on the days the transit ran behind, and they said no. Apparently five more minutes in the office is more important than an hour of sleep.
Fuck that.
Hell, I work from home, my commute is a hallway. I login at 10:15
Being on time just shows responsibility. But lets be honest, you don’t even need to be that great at your job. You just need to be on time, rarely sick, use approved days off and no work drama. That’s all they care about. It’s just about consistency. They can work around consistency. If you are really good at your job but can’t do the rest, it honestly doesn’t matter, you’ll be replaced eventually.
When it comes to the corporate ladder, you can add in a whole social game as well.
Man, I thought non political Twitter meant evading this kind of demographic divide bullshit. No, gen z worker don’t all think like that, yes a lot of boomer thinks like that. Why are people agreeing or even entertaining the concept to the statement when it’s almost probably false. It’s a completely nothing burger written by professional internet troll farming clicks
If your work gets done on time and you support your colleagues as needed, who gives flying squirrel how long you’re at work? I get that punctuality is important for some jobs, especially with shift work. But why would I show up and sit around and wait for everyone to finish their coffee and wake up when I can do that before I get in?
These kinds of rules were written because some people lack self-discipline
No they don’t. Assholes think that, regardless of generation.
I have a few 40+ year old coworkers who take over so I can leave ten minutes late every single day.
My boss when I’m 30 seconds late back from my lunch break: 😡
My boss when my coworkers stand around talking for 20 minutes after lunch instead of working (they made sure to stand in the correct section of floor so that they’re technically not at lunch anymore): 😶
Well, my boss seems to think that it’s perfectly fine to keep me there for up to an hour after quitting time, so I guess we both suck at reading clocks lol.
Expecting me to be flexible with my schedule is a two-way street.
I love not being able to be late because I don’t have a specific time to be at work. That sounds so dumb
Depends on your line of work. If you’re a barista, for example, and you’re ten minutes late, you’re screwing over whoever you’re replacing. You’re making them late for whatever they have planned after work. People got shit to do, places to be. If your line of work depends on one person being on time so the other can leave, be considerate to your coworkers and show up on time. I’ve been fucked over by coworkers showing up late time and time again, it sucks.
If you’re not first, you’re last.
The only contribution mediocre people can make is being on time.
I’m an engineer that’s goaled by onsite arrival. I chose the perfect career given that I would cop a beating if my mother said I needed to be home by 5pm and the clock struck 5:01.
Funnily, during our ‘Christmas gathering’, I arrived at the restaurant to meet my manager early – everyone else was at least 20 minutes late.
We’ve identified a generation gap. I feel pain turning up to an appointment 10 minutes late because I would be thrashed turning up 10 minutes late as a child.
My dear mother has forgotten this past.
If your shift starts at 8, then you’re expected to be there by 8. It’s not that hard.
No no no. I’ll die on this hill. I have to work over because someone is late. I don’t to get to take a lunch when someone is late. I get to handle things alone when someone is late. This is about being a good coworker. Stuff happens and being late in a situation is understandable but often is ridiculous. Get yourself and ready and get to work in time.
Nobody likes to work with the guy who are always 10 minutes late. Not only is it unprofessional, it’s like, yeah dude, we all want to not work if we could, but we have to be here. You’re not exempt from the rules just because you want to.
If I’m spending most of my life at a place. Then yes, it’s completely acceptable.
I work with a girl who comes in 10-15 late every day and makes sure she leaves right at 3 when her shift is over.
Yeah her last day is January second.
