[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MB and DB are late about 90% of the time.  Usually from 15 minutes to an hour late.  Thankfully I have no life outside of work and I get paid hourly.[/quote]

See, maybe I just work with great employers. If they see that they are being 15-60 minutes late all the time, then they add on an hour to my schedule which gives them this buffer time they need. They do this out of respect for me and so that they don't feel bad when they are running late. Since I would be getting paid for that hour most days anyways (if they are late), it just makes sense. Then on days that they come home early, they have a bit of time to go change or start dinner before they take over with the kids, or now and then they just let me go home early. Since they have added this extra buffer, they won't be "late" quite so much, and so if it is ever outside of the new schedule, it is something that I deal with.

It is not hard for any other family to do this as well. So if they aren't willing to do this, and they are constantly late, then I might reconsider working for them. You can say that their job makes them late as much as you want, but if the employers aren't considerate enough to add on an extra hour as a buffer when they know they might be late a lot, then I usually don't want to work for that type of person. Since I have never had a family that was constantly late that wasn't willing to rearrange a schedule, I can't say if they are just harder to find or people on this site just like to use work keeping them late as an excuse instead of working out something better with the hours needed. I do know that most of my families have suggested doing this with the schedule from when I interviewed with them, bringing it up themselves, so that I would know I might possibly go home earlier some days but would be staying a bit later with the flex time on a regular basis.[/quote]
