I have to vent a bit I hope you all can understand.
I have never been a punctual person sure for a particular event I can mostly show up on time but being at the same place at the same time every day is just completely unsustainable for me.
I know punctual people take it as a personal insult when others are late and I don't know what to say to them to make them understand. It's literally caused me nothing but pain. Tardy slips from the office in elementary school, detention in high school, failed classes in college, fired from jobs.
I finally found a decent paying job, remote, that is flexible about hours day to day and this last year work has somehow not been the most stressful thing in my life. Until they hired a new c-level above my team and they have been scheduling 8 am “check in”meetings with my team and I can feel the walls closing in, I just know it's only a matter of time for this becomes a problem between us.
I'm lying in bed literally feeling grief because I've had to search for years to find a place that would accept me and it's essentially been given a terminal diagnosis because of one change in management.
