For the love of god, i dont understand the logic of not being on time. How egotistical can you be? You being late 30 mins (in a group of 5) means 4 other people are now missing 30 mins in their schedule. You just burnt 2 hours of other peoples time. Weird thing is that it is a social thing in some countries. How can these countries achieve anything? I am Dutch btw (if that wasnt clear).
I would like to start off by saying that different doesn’t mean bad. Just because people follow different standards doesn’t mean they are inferior in any way. Regarding punctuality, the reason some cultures are not as time sensitive as the Dutch is not because these cultures disregard the importance of being on time but rather because being on time was never given much importance in the first place. So, if you have a colleague from a different country, instead of criticising them because “he/she doesn’t do what he must do”, explain to them why being on time is important to you and for work.
@@greekin2space387 I never said bad. I just don't understand the actual logistics. If i don't come to work on time, and so would my colleagues, my boss would have a problem. How does that work in cultures where they "disregard the importance of being on time"? "why being on time is important to you" So you just sit and wait patiently on others?! Or basically everyone is always late, but still someone will always be sooner there than the other, wasting time. === instead of criticising them because “he/she doesn’t do what he must do”, explain to them why being on time is important to you and for work. === I think i would turn it around. Say we meet at 15:00 to the person coming late, and 16:00 to the rest. Then tell him and ask him how he feels about it.
@@MrTomaat23 You’re missing my point and you also didn’t understand what I’m saying. Just consider different perspectives do exist in different places, even for the stuff you consider to be set in stone.
