I am a 21 year old node & web developer working for a small company in the suburbs of large tech city in the US.
Since sophomore year of high school I’ve developed a habit of running five minutes late to most commitments I make. It’s a deep set behavior that I seem to have no grip on.
I like the office I work at. I’m underpaid, but it’s comfortable and low pressure. I think this is partially because I get along well with my boss and partially because he knows I could go work anywhere else and make more money.
The only expectation the office has is the one I can’t meet, showing up on time. Today I showed up at 9:06 and was told to go home for the day, and to come back on time on Monday.
Are there many programming jobs with more time flexibility that would fit me better? Is running late OK in the industry? Or should I be trying to fix this ~6 year behavior of running late? Has anyone dealt with similar issues?
