It’d probably help if companies weren’t so stringent on workers being early / punctual. We’ve ingrained in our society that you HAVE to be early all the time in spite of things like traffic and weather.

A few jobs ago, I had a boss who would log every employee who was even 1 minute late at any time for any reason.

People driving like assholes have only themselves to blame. No one accepts "I had to get to work on time" as an excuse for anything.

It’s a domino effect, isn’t it? Not excusable though, and there definitely are many people out there who just are assholes with no reason to be hauling like that.

It is. We’ve made a culture of always being a rush to get nowhere.

I always hate seeing drivers weaving throughout traffic only to catch up with them minutes later since they’ll inevitably hit the same lights I do.
