Does Being Late Always Hurt Your IT Career?
For things like interviews, all IT recruiters require their IT contractors to be on time– or preferably, early. But when it comes to day-to-day events or meetings, can IT professionals be late without hurting their reputations or losing their IT jobs? The answer seems to be less than straightforward.
While no IT recruiting agencies would recommend that IT consultants be late on a regular basis, or really ever, it seems to work out alright for some IT managers. Yahoo star Marissa Mayer is said to be constantly late for meetings. Most Google execs are also often late to meetings, according to urban legend. So perhaps the lesson here is that lateness is ok– if you’re a superstar. Then again, maybe not!
