Sorry, but if you’re expected at 10 you should arrive at 10. Doesn’t matter if it is work, a meet-up with friends or family, a date, or whatever. People schedule things around you, they’ll expect you at 10, not 10 minutes later. So if you come late, it means you’re not respecting other people’s time, which means you don’t respect other people.
It’s work, not elementary school. Just don’t be late for your first meeting. But also don’t throw meetings on people’s calendar at 8am. It’s a dick move.
Try working at a company that has staff on the opposite side of the planet. I’ve missed meetings scheduled for 7am (I start at 8) that were sent in the middle of the night. That’s what I call a dick move.
My favourite is when the person who we’re all working around sets the time and then doesn’t show up on time of the meeting. That’s the epitome of entitlement to disrespecting everyone’s (and the company) time. And this is a millennial that pulls this shit regularly at my job. It also costs the business a stupid amount of money when all those people aren’t producing revenue just to come sit in a meeting that isn’t going anywhere.

Both are dick moves
