    I keep to myself unless it’s about unionizing or other big values of mine. The job gets done and its above standards, no one ever complains about my time because its mine, so I’ll never complain about their time because its theirs.

    On a similar note, when you get to the gas station, do you care if the gas reservoir was filled on time, or do you care that there is enough gas to pump? Same with your phone bill, does it matter if you get it 4h before you get home or 15min but in the end its there when you get there.

    Both in IT and creative contracts that I do, I’m the one that sets the deadlines and I’m 99% on time, for years. And it works for my bosses/contractors and partners. The 1% will tell you that if you are not on time for work your work is less valuable, when 99.99% of the time, absolutely no one with 2 braincells really cares.

    Again, this is not regarding lifesaving situations. I was a lifeguard and a paramedic & I always arrived 1h early for those gigs. No matter the location or my Sun allergy. Lives are lives. Work is just fucking work.

      You’ve clearly thought this through a bunch, but I dont much care about all that. Good for you that your job doesnt care when you do your work.
