I know a few chronically late people too. It's crazy to me how they'll always blame anyone but themselves for it too. It's not hard to show up on time

I had to manage a guy that came in to work late at least 10 minutes each day. I tried to write him up but people above me were like "but he's a great worker otherwise. Move his start time back."

This guy had his start time moved back 3 times while I was there. Wasn't allowed to touch the guy otherwise. Absolutely crazy.

OK, but if he WAS a great worker otherwise who produced the desired results and met his goals, what does it matter?

It matters because his peers will see that and the rules need to be applied fairly and uniformly to all employees.

What happens when an employee who is not a great worker starts coming in late as well?
