This is the majority of the problem IMO. Our poor people are 3x the size of average humans across the globe.

If she’s salaried and is getting all the work done and a top performer, you don’t rock the boat. If she starts slipping performance wise. Then you tighten up.

Untimeliness is a huge pet peeve of mine.
It not only shows irresponsibility, but a complete lack of respect for the other party.
People like to justify it by "oh I'm so busy", but that's a bullshite excuse. Adjust how you schedule things if you're so busy.

Seems like a lot of people forgot how committing to things is supposed to work after the Covid lockdowns

The most common type of "uncivilized" behavior in the workplace is wasting someone's time to save your own. That's a textbook written statistic and the specific language used. As an example, let's say you don't know how to set up an out of office response on your outlook email. Instead of googling or youtubing an answer, you just ask someone that might know. What you're telling that person is that your time is more valuable than theirs. It's incredibly common in todays workplace.

This past Saturday, we were hungry for sandwiches so we went to the Jersey Mike’s by my house, and the guy showed up 10 minutes after a supposed to open So you're the guy always showing up at exact opening time and banging on the door.
To be fair, at a restaurant employees should be there 30 min to an hour before opening time in order to prep the food and everything

I still believe this and if you don't you are part of today's problems.

She isn't struggling to find a job. She doesn't want a job. She wants a husband who will support her. I feel sorry for him.

I will gladly burn a minute of a coworkers time to save ten of my own. And I have no problem with similar reciprocation. You're that guy that hides in his cave and never helps anyone aren't you?

Defintely a fine line to walk. It irks me because my boss's kid is habitually tardy. It shouldn't bother me, he doesn't report to me or work in my department but he isn't a top peformer by any means. I have to work with three sons of three different owners, one directly, two indirectly.

I think we’re reaching a point where employers/supervisors are just happy if the person shows up, whenever.

If you want to piss me off, don’t be punctual and make me wait.

It's not and it drives me nuts. It seriously blows my mind that people don't have a fire to show up early for work. I work in behavioral health so if my therapist is late, the client starts therapy late...yet the same therapists always text...oh in traffic gonna be 5 behind... you've done this for a year...you can't figure out to leave earlier???
Beyond that, people who do this socially drive me fricking crazy! if I invite you over or out I've cleared my time either from work or w my wife and kid to do so... it pisses me off when Im waiting there for 15-30 minutes and have to text someone...still comin? "oh yea soon just running a bit behind" I swear it's not as hard to be on time as people now make it out to be

The mentality is now that if you are early or on time that means you don't have enough to do.

start firing everyone not there on time and be sure to announce to the whole staff why they were fired
this - My wife (no pics) worked for a place that had a point system - late more than 5 mins with no call to let a manager know, resulted in a point. 3 points was a verbal, 5 points write up, 7 points termination - all withing a 6 month window.
it kept people in line, and culled those that didn't want the job - then Covid came along, and the company scrapped it and left it to managers discretion, and they had all shitty employees from there and she left. she got frustrated, as the HR person in the store responsible for accountability, and saw no one being held accountable. when she left she had a person that had been late about 23 straight days by 15 to 2o mins each day - and they were never held accountable.

A lot of Gen Z and Millennials feel that their lives and situations are hopeless. Many won’t be able to ever afford a house or children due to rampant inflation, etc.
When you’re demoralized, timeliness is the first thing to go.
