ORIGINAL: LaTigresse Being late, in and of itself, may very well not have any reflection on the importance of the person or event involved. Just because punctuality is vital to many/some, does NOT mean it is to ALL. Sure. We all know somebody who is habitually late. But are they always late for work (and therefore constantly seeking new jobs)? If not, then you've proven my point. But admittedly, there may be some people who have absolutely no control over their tardiness. Fortunately, most of those people are institutionalized. I think you are attempting to create a mountain from a mole hill. The people I know that are often late, are yes, often late to work. You see, smart people that are a poor judge of time simply find work where time is less an issue. OR, they are such excellent employees that the fact they get to the office at 8:10 am versus 7:55 am, is a non issue. It really isn't about being in control or not, it is about what is important to the individual. Obviously being on time is important TO YOU. You are not everyone and should not presume to place your issues onto others simply because it is a positive issue TO YOU. Yep. I am late for my bartending job every single day. It used to drive my boss crazy until he figured out that me being 10 to 20 minutes late didn't really matter since not once have I missed work, called out sick, or asked for any time off. He knows if I am scheduled I am coming, as opposed to the puntcual people that are frigging calling in once a week and need every weekend and holiday off. Then he asks me to fill in for them. Which, I do.
