If the company doesn't care, I wouldn't go out of my way to care either.
Ironically, if you do, your employer might start seeing you as a problem |

Neat.
I'm a millennial and I'm the fourth person in the building every morning. The boomers come in 3 hours later and cry that I leave an hour before them. |

With unemployment as low as it is I think employers are finding that they can attract and keep otherwise attractive employees if they are a little more flexible on tardiness and attendance policies.
Most shops I have worked in have been divided pretty clearly between guys in their 20’s and 30’s that show up right at starting time or a little late and guys in their 40’s, 50’s and 60’s that show up early to circle jerk for a while. There have been a few exceptions but not many. I really don’t care either way. I leave everyone else alone; I want to be left alone. Honestly most times my manager and dispatcher don’t even know when my start time is. Tardy or early I cannot stand hall monitors. If you wanted to be in charge you should have interviewed to be the manager or started your own company. |

I must be in between the Boomers and Millennials. I hate the fucksticks that do nothing all day and get away with it because "they have a lot of experience" and the cocksuckers that show up late or never and do less than the dayshift fucksticks. I like what I do, like most of the people I work with, yet i have a burning desire to see the place fail.

Must be nice to be independently wealthy that you are able to call in once or twice a week, come in an hour late almost every day, and leave early whenever you feel like it, and somehow not get fired from a factory job...

So what?
It’s not your job to worry about them being late, so until it is dont pay attention to it. You made a comment about millennial’s, and then you’re trying to compare them to yourself. I think you missed your own comparison and idea of what millennials are even though it’s your own idea which is weird. this thread is stupid. |

We have problems with people manipulating the work schedule at my place of work, but it concerns older-workers, not millennials. Some of the older workers, because of multiple skills can play havoc with the schedule, and with management's blessing. Primary problem is due to "lean-staffing", and if a single essential person calls in sick (usually justified, but not always) the schedule is trashed for that day, and the other workers need to make up the work foregone by the absent person.
In some cases, the older, multiple-skilled worker will swoop-in, pick their hours to work, and Mgt will accept the offer. Many of their cohorts do not appreciate this self-serving practice, since the rest of their co-workers will have to pick up the slack when the "Hero" is absent. I would definitely say that the younger workers recently taken-on have an excellent work ethic. These are mostly people in their mid to late 20s. Every one of them female, as it turns out. On the other side of the workforce, different craft, I can easily see many sorts of work-ethic problems, with both male and female workers. I do not have to deal with such on an everyday basis, but some of the younger workers on the "other" work force have severe work-ethic problems. Very severe. Wet? Cold? Monday? Call-in sick, or even get a FMLA exemption. The supervisors on "the other side" are almost driven nuts by this, and there is little they can do about it. Take it for a snapshot at my workplace, and nothing else. |

I’m considered a millennial, I use to show up 5-10 minutes late daily. It was also normal for me to not take lunch, and stay 30 minutes up to an hour and half late. I wouldn’t get my first job till 20 after normally, so I didn’t see a problem. But higher ups did, but expected us to stay late to make the customers happy.
After 10 years of retail, I left. I got me a .gov job and show up on time now and leave on time. If I stay late, I’m compensated. |

If it's a job in which it doesn't matter when you work, as long as you get the work done, fine. I don't care when you work. One of the best law firm partners I knew (single female) wouldn't show up until 10am but would work until 8-9pm every night. She was a night owl. Nobody cared.
But if your employer says "I need you to be here at X o'clock, it's a condition of your employment," and you accept that by taking the job, then you should be there at X o'clock. |

Trolling and stirring aside....
At my employer, the rock stars are those born in the mid to late 80's. I'm one of them, nearly doubled my salary in 9 years at one company. Another came on as a lacky and is now a product manager. Others are the leaders in their departments. Now the kids fresh out of college.... Holy fuck. They only do exactly what you tell them to do, nothing more. Every free second they have they are on their phones. So basically, they're just like boomers, except they don't ask IT about spam emails they get. |

I have a team of 70. About a third of them are Millennials, and the rest are a mix of generations.
The Millennials consistently have trouble with being on time, but at the same time, most end up producing more in a day than many of the older generations that show up on time every day. As management, I can tell you it's a struggle to weigh the balance. Every generation is different and has positive and negative aspects. Sometimes you have to give in one area to get in another. I would rather everyone show up on time and produce at a high level. I have a few from several generations that do that, but it's unrealistic to assume I will get that across the board. At the end of the day, if I get a higher work product at the expense of 5-10 minutes here and there. I'll take it. |
