Melissa in the Morning: You’re Late for a Very Important Date!

If you are always running late, does that tell a bigger story about you as a worker and can it derail your career? According to new research, the youngest generation of workers believes 10 minutes late is still right on time. The online meeting company, Meeting Canary, asked over 1,000 British adults about their attitudes to punctuality and almost half of those aged 16 to 26 said that being between five and 10 minutes late is just as good as being punctual. However, a staggering 70% of boomers surveyed said they have zero tolerance for any level of tardiness. We asked career strategist, Julie Bauke, about ‘being on time’ and whether it’s an archaic indicator of workers.
