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

true. my boss started to accept it.
I'm gen x and I believe this.
Fuck those companies. They should be grateful I even sent my resume to their corrupted pile of shit of a company
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,
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?

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

Depends on the situation. Meeting up with friends? I wouldn't blink at them being 10 minutes late. Opening shift at a cafe? 10 minutes would put me so far behind I'd be in big trouble.

It's a very good day when I show up just 10 minutes late.
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.
If I start 10 minutes late I work 10 minutes later. Only I am affected by being late. It's not a big deal.
