Oh man, I have to totally disagree on this one Greg. Not on the user manual. On the fact that you're late. It DOES piss people off and confuse them. Quite frankly, my time is just as valuable as yours. Being late is incredibly rude. It is also a power play. You're telling people you have more important things to do than respect their time. That is a clear message that you think you're in charge. It's beyond disrespectful. If I were your employee, I'd leave when you didn't show up on time. And you're late sometimes because you want another cup of coffee?! Ouch.
Appreciate you holding up the mirror. I don't consider it a power move, but I get that it will be interpreted that way. There have been years where I have been better at this, and others- including the last 1 2 months, where it's been harder for me - lots of good excuses, like back-to-back meetings and scheduling 30mins blocks when I probably need 35-40. But I am honest with my user manual - and I can only fix so much at any one time. At least I tell people via Slack when I am running behind.
