Assuming people are intentionally showing up later is kind of the problem. They signed for the job, they want to get paid. Evidence would point to them not intentionally being late.
Yes, parents get paid time off, and buses here come about every 20 minutes on average. Metro & trams being much more frequent with often under 10 minutes. Either way, it’s your own responsibility to be on time.
I don’t think the conversation is about outliers or occasional lates, but about a habitual disconcern for being on time.
I’m sensitive to the issue as i work for a company that delivers stuff. 10 minutes of staff not being on time causes actual problems that can snowball and cause people to be late all day long. We are very schedule oriented so it matters.
Given the headcount and resource reduction we had to make because we were being sold to make us look lean, and now they are asking for even deeper cuts, its really bad for my crew when someone just isnt there making everyone else having to compensate.
Its very different for different environments/cultures and sometimes they dont mix well.
Don’t compensate. That is the solution. Work normally, and if the bosses lose money, remind them to fix the staffing situation. Being a hero won’t solve anything.
Bullshit, life happens. If you judge someone for their bus running late then you’re just a sanctimonious prick.
That’s a completely different scenario than intentionally coming in late.

If it happens frequently then it certainly is intentional.
I see you’ve never met a toddler or a bad bus system.
If you have a toddler or a bad bus system then you need to account for that and take a bus earlier.
Are you paying them to wait around? Or have someone watch that toddler an extra hour? They don’t get a personal bus.
Do you expect to get paid for being late?

THIS.
Man I had to double-check what Lemmy community I was in. There’s a lot of boss-apologists in this thread. O.o
Then you’re running below minimum staffing and that’s your fault, not theirs.
