This is cultural appropriation of italian culture

Trucks leave at 7:15, you're either on one or not working today.

I'm a millennial and I show up an hour and a half late and I think it's fine. I DO put all my hours in so I leave later but whatever.

Also, just get some serious dirt on your piece of shit boss and you're golden. Fuck em'.

Okay kids, this is what we call, micro management leading to a hostile work environment.

I don't think I've worked for a company that gave a shit if I was 10 minutes late.

One company had a time clock that only kept time records to one decimal place of an hour. The clock literally couldn't differentiate between someone clocking in 5 minutes early, or 5 minutes late.

Anyone who cares about how trivially late you are, isn't someone worthy of your labor.

It depends on the job. Sometimes coverage matters, sometimes specific times really matter for outcomes.

That entirely depends on the job. I worked retail management for a store that had a lot if single parents that had two jobs. I’d cut them slack if they were late getting from one job to another. Im a lot less inclined to tolerate lateness when someone doesn’t have other responsibilities. When their lateness forces others to stay late to cover them it is a problem.

I'm all for tolerance but why should the circumstances of the individual matter? A single non-parent might have just as good a reason for being late.

User “food safety isn’t important” is right. /s

[–] LoafedBurrito@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

I used to work retail where if I showed up on time, I was late and had customers waiting outside the store.

Then I finally got a desk job and showed up 5 minutes early the first day and had to wait for 15 minutes outside. I then quickly realized most people don't show up till 8:20-8:45. So that's my start time now.

No, 98%

10 minutes is about 2 percent of an eight hour workday.

[–] Twongo@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 weeks ago

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 weeks ago

I'm gen x and I believe this.

African American obviously in a hurry to go somewhere

"This lazy asshole thinks being late to the office is acceptable"

Sorry, feels like my eardrums just burst. Did someone blow a dog whistle really loudly?

Fuck those companies. They should be grateful I even sent my resume to their corrupted pile of shit of a company

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Elder Millennial, I was almost an hour late for work yesterday, I walked in and made no apologies. Today it was only 11 minutes so I quickly got some candy to reward myself. Tomorrow's not looking great,

[–] West_of_West@piefed.social 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If I start 10 minutes late I work 10 minutes later. Only I am affected by being late. It's not a big deal.

If you count your workers minutes, you should be doing something different.

If I have to work 30 minutes late every day and no one is depending on me to be there on time for anything, ten minutes late is on time.

My boss can complain to the bus company
