Is turning up on time for your job a terrible metric?

To me being on time is just a very basic low level requirement of being a professional.

As the initial commenter said: trust goes both ways. Turning up on time is a good way to show your manager that you can be trusted.

Edit: Actually, turning up on time may not make your manager trust you more, but turning up late will definitely make them trust you less.
