    It seems like this is more nuanced than simply black and white. Of all the jobs I’ve worked, about half of them had/have any ramifications for being late.

    One job I had, if I wasn’t on time to start the production process, the evening crew would have to stay later to finish. My current job on the other hand is WFH and project-oriented, so as long as I’m not late to a meeting, I could start 2 hours later and finish 2 hours later.

      The question is why anyone would answer “why” have they never worked any of the types of job where people depend on each others effort in real time? Like 99.9% of low end jobs are like that.

        Chicagodog and a couple of others here have never worked a job that requires even minimal collaboration, at least not in a time sensitive manner. Basic community effort skills would be necessary to get any task accomplished even in a labor-free communist paradise.

        No hate to those users either; they are clearly just clueless due to inexperience, and it’s good that there are others to educate them.
