re: Is timeliness no longer valued at all?

You may be right but I watched a person put that work in, early, late, weekends. They had the education to go along with the killer mentality and now that person is the CFO of one of the largest helicopters companies on planet earth. If this person had not showed up early left late, no way they are in that particular spot this second.

Probably driven by career choice but Ive seen people from bumf*ck Louisiana running major publicly traded companies and it took that dedication to get to that level.

I would bet that this person was ON time to meetings when they could not avoid them, not early, not late. That is the epitome of effective time management and it is what should be expected, not being a quarter of an hour early doing frick all and concluding that your the lynch pen because you were early.

Arriving early, working late and being productive is how you get ahead...when you MUST attend a meeting simply be there when it starts. Better yet be so effective that even the dumbest most egotistical manager will recognize that your talents and efforts are far more productive anywhere BUT most meetings....
