I have an employee that I manage who's constantly coming in 10+ minutes late. Feeling a bit flustered with it, I do a quick google search for "employee constantly late" and click a couple of the top results. I found a thread on Quora that utterly blew my mind. Check it out if you want to get in your daily dose of shaking your head in disbelief:

The OP seems like a pretty friendly, lenient manager from his post and his general responses. And his original question is laid out very sensibly in my opinion. Yet just take a look at the WALLS and WALLS of comment blocks he's getting - over a hundred responses of almost nothing but frothing-at-the-mouth hatred. Sidewalkers really leave me in shocked disbelief sometimes.
"PFFT! How DARE you ask your charming, wonderful, kind, proletariat developer to be on time to work!!"
"WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE HOW LATE HE IS!? You should be FIRED AND NEVER HIRED AGAIN FOR BEING SUCH A HORRIBLE MANAGER!!!"
"Expecting employees to not be 10-20 minutes late every day is a sign of a terrible manager trying to exert his pathetic control over a brilliant employee!"
I'm almost surprised that they didn't attack him for not buying his employee a new Porsche and being his personal doormat every time said employee graced the office with his presence.
Just another all-too-common example of the insanity of sidewalker mentality.
