Again with the strawman arguments? It’s not a justified reason. The quote is literally “I’m not feeling it, I’m coming in at 10:30 today”. Which at a movie set I understand how disruptive it can be. It’s not a software dev job where you can do your job from 13 to 22 for all everyone cares.
I don’t have a solid argument one way or another, but I will chime in to say that as someone in a leadership position, 99% of the time someone complains about a late co-worker, it’s an older person annoyed with a younger person being late in a situation that doesn’t remotely affect them. They’re just annoyed that “young people have no work ethic.”
But I do see your point as well. Years ago, I worked in healthcare, and lateness could literally impact patient care, so that was completely different.
Most often though, I’ve seen people simply annoyed with the idea that other people are late.
I have no way of knowing the exact circumstances of Jodie Foster’s complaints. If people start work on the set by chatting and making small talk like they do in a lot of workplaces, then I can’t blame people for not showing up on time, but I have no idea what their actual workday looks like, so I’ll withhold judgment.
Sometimes, being the calm voice in the middle is much more valuable than having a “solid argument”. You sound like a very reasonable person that I wouldn’t mind having as a boss.
Thanks, I try. I feel like I succeed at this a lot more in real life than I do online. At least, I try to be understanding.
Also, the people I work with are excellent. It’s not that they’re complaining about each other constantly, though it is something that’s happened a few times, always about a co-worker being late or opting to work unconventional hours such as evenings and weekends. To me, these are non-issues. I feel like everybody does their best, and the work gets done.

And I’m saying that probably doesn’t actually happen.
At worst I’m calling her a liar for exagerating what does happen. That’s not a strawman. Obviously, I don’t have the evidence for it- I’ve never worked for her. What I do know is that I have never had this issue. What I have had- as a manager, dealing with Gen Z- is people calling in sick while boomers complain about how “lazy” they are.
This, too, is not a straw man. This is an observation from my own experience. Maybe TV set Gen-Z are different. but I doubt it.
Is Jodie Foster a well-known liar? Seriously, I have no idea.
If not, you’re just being weirdly defensive of people you don’t know. Her anecdotes are as valid as yours, and since she probably works with more teams, they may have a bigger data source than your own.
I’ve had her experience and yours at different workplaces.

Of course it depends, totally agree. I work in IT so I don’t care when my colleagues come and go, but certain professions this is not acceptable.
