Don't show up late. Get a raise or leave.

    Arriving late is like giving yourself an hourly rate raise

    Oh no, I have to work less time for the capitalist class to enjoy the same quality of life. How terrible! What? I even get more time for myself which increases my quality of life? This is truly a total disaster!!!

    Meh. Everyone needs to optimize for their tolerance to bullshit. It's a lot of bullshit to use leverage, or find another job, especially when employment is merely a means to an end.

    Yup. Your employer is not your friend. At the end of the day you don't owe them anything. Even more so in America. You are just a number. Act accordingly.

    Yep. It took a little while, but after seeing “leadership” make dumb decision after dumb decision just because it helps them win their turf war with another department or aligns with their personal politics, I stopped caring. I do enough work that if I got hit by a bus, things would fall off the rails. I don’t think anyone above me realizes that. But I rest safe in the knowledge that if I do get fired someday for some bullshit reason, I’ll have the last laugh.

    What are you, the punctuality police?

    If you are not replaceable because you do a ton of tasks other people can’t do, especially if you’re salaried, then it seems pretty fair to make your own time for things.

    There are definitely other corners you shouldn’t cut when in that type of position, but being allowed to manage your own time is not one of them.

    Managing your time is one thing. Doing the job of multiple people is foolish and should get a raise. If you are mission critical, get paid for it.

    If you're that mission critical, you'll get the raise and still won't have any dramas about punctuality.

    Nah, I was working 3 weeks without a free day abroad, but that didn't count for my time back, so I still needed to sit in the office, although I needed some rest and there wasn't much to do for me in this week

    My direct boss said, that I'm often coming in late, but I'm always here when needed, doesn't matter what
    And he said this as a positive thing

    It really depends on the job though
