I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with many of those. There are 2 things I can tell you which will improve your experience with him drastically. The first thing is a new motto: Early is on time, and on time is late. The second thing is the golden rule, aka the law of the 7 P’s. Prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance.‘Tis the busiest time of year dealing with the stupidest of people, as @Whistler indicated above. Seriously impacting my belief of work less, make more.
Spent yesterday afternoon with a retired 3-star nuclear submariner by trade who’s got an unenviable job. I think there’s a lot of high-ranking people about to be told ‘get on board or get off my ship; no room for pirates here’.
This is a guy that starts meetings at the prescribed second and ends them in time to start the next meeting on the exact second. If the door is shut, no one gets to enter and their ‘contribution’ isn’t particularly welcome any longer.
Discipline is in his nature and he believes undisciplined people are a risk to the company.
Should be an interesting year, to say the least.

Sounds like a fun guy to work for. I wish more people had that mentality. Maybe some snowflakes will get melted, I’ll send over a Nomex resume.‘Tis the busiest time of year dealing with the stupidest of people, as @Whistler indicated above. Seriously impacting my belief of work less, make more.

Morning all
They kinda are, No?
I changed my attitude from being late in my twenties. Although I can't control situations outside of myself, I can control myself. I tend to leave early enough just in case of the unforeseen, and I haven't had an alarm clock within reach of me since then. Self discipline seems to be lacking in much of today's society.Without a doubt. His expectation of self-discipline is much more higher than the average Joe’s.
