    Yeah. It definitely depends on the job.

    If you’re relieving someone, they might be annoyed if you’re late but nobody is going to die or anything. If your work isn’t extremely time sensitive, nobody should give a fuck…

    If things can’t go because you’re not there, and it’s very time sensitive, then there’s a problem. Everyone is waiting on your ass to show up.

      “ If your work isn’t extremely time sensitive, nobody should give a fuck…”

      Except if Im staying to cover for you and I have other things I need to do or want to do I might give a fuck. The “no one should really care” POV overlooks how being late can impact others.

        I had a specific exception for if you’re relieving someone.

        I recognised this exact issue in my original statement.

          “If you’re relieving someone, they might be annoyed if you’re late but nobody is going to die or anything.”

          That’s not how I read this. I read this as you suggesting it isn’t a real problem.

            It’s not a serious problem. Needs of the one vs needs of the many and all that.

            It’s still discourteous.

            But at the same time, people who do that kind of work, generally understand how annoying it is when their relief shows up late, so that kind of thing usually works itself out naturally… Or the chronic late person ends up needing to find a new job.
