Monday morning, their training (which lasted at least a month) was all set up for them to get started as soon as they arrived. Everyone was on time, or early, except for one dude who showed up exactly 15 minutes late. Fuck it, I thought, and told the HR person to not let him in. To this day I still wonder if I was too rash.
Some great responses. But if I want to make a good impression at my new job, I'll try to at least be on time. Then again, I was taught being late is extremely rude.

I had heard in business school, that if you're late for class they don't let you in.
CEO's of a large corporations probably start working at 5:00 in the morning and work till 8 or 9:00 at night with their day scheduled out in 15 - 30 minute increments.
