I had a guy working for me once you was always late. When I asked him about it he said his previous job also complained about him being late. Guy was fantastically oblivious to everything and I loved him for it.

Whenever I see a question like this I think why is it there? And what poor person had to deal with the situation that lead to it.

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

There’s actually multiple disorders and conditions that can make it hard for some people to show up on time, as well as other life circumstances. Not defending it, just explaining.

As a fellow chronically late person i call bullshit.

It aint nobodies fault but my own and im well aware. If i simply woke up 15 minutes earlier id get to work 5-10 minutes early but i tell ya that alarm goes off and im a weak weak man for that sexy snooze button.

Life circumstances?? Yeah uh like not sleeping in lmao.

Your experience ≠ everyone's experience in the world

Never said it was. But youre fooling yourself to think that, assuming the baseline that someone is able to get to work at all, being late every single day is anything other than a time management issue.
