As others have said, it depends on the job, but in many jobs nobody would notice (excepting the timeclock for hourly folks) if someone's 5-10 minutes late, and honestly, would they be getting anything more done in that time anyways if they were there 5 minutes earlier?
Yeah. So…. Gen X was doing this shit in the 80’s. And I’m sure boomers did it in the 60’s. This isn’t a generational thing-
It’s a human thing.
You want everything finished before clock out and no overtime then this is how its done.
