when i was training with the national team, we lived and died by this mantra:

“if you’re early, you’re on time.
if you’re on time, you’re late.
if you’re late, you’re fucked.”

the entire team would have to do sprints if anyone was late. 

insane for me to fathom that 10 minutes late could be a norm.

It’s also funny how it’s deeply geographically, and not just intergenerationally, cultural.

I’d have a 10:00 meeting in Germany and everybody would be seated with their laptop open and ready to work five minutes prior.

Same meeting in the Middle East, guys would walk in 15 minutes late, chit chat for another 15, and eventually consider getting to the order of business
