They were always at least five minutes late for what should have been a five minute stand up because they knew we'd have to wait for them.
I managed to get team agreement we start no later then 2 minutes past, no matter who isn't there, management included, no judgement for late comers but the meeting is starting as we have work to get on with.
Suddenly said project manager started showing up on time. Who knew?
IOW - I see a lot of efforts at ‘curtailing’ mgmt powers. In my experience- Bottom up management or manipulation only goes so far - that’s not far. Pick your managers people. You want nice ones who also know how to hire well.
(Of course, now we do everything remote, so I wouldn’t even know if they are early)
