I might be an outlier. Not doubting that. I'm just saying it's not acceptable to be late. Unless there was something major that hung you up. Highway shut down, family member died, etc..
It's easy for me to say as an insomniac. I'm awake at 3:30-4am central time. I still just don't get how people are late. And yes, I've experienced it from others and it pisses me off. No military training or anything like that. Just show up when you agreed to. Probably the biggest arguments my wife and I get in. I tell her we HAVE to go. It's time. When we're 10 minutes late to a function I'm pissed. Ruins it. Business is probably worse. You've lost all my trust and I'm a big trust guy.
I've wrangled that shit in though. Any event we get a hotel. If you're near the place you're supposed to be you generally cannot be late. Women are the worst with time. Either way, I just don't think you should be late. 1 in 4 days is not acceptable at all. That's not harassment. That's failing on your agreement to work.
you are an outlier my man. i am talking life experience, most people i met or worked with were usually late few minutes. even in government, no one cared ever.

showing up late is a losers move...stroll in late, then stroll over to the coffee machine and pour a cup of coffee, bullshit around with the other employees, check your FB page and email, and 50 minutes later, finally get to work
firing people for being few minutes late is harassment. i don’t know anyone who shows up on time always. nor do those faggot corporations pay people for showing up early. i guarantee you they just threw a book at that chick for another reason, being late is not a deal breaker anywhere in america.

Then you know a bunch of losers..BTW, is that thing still considered a "chick"..no they don't pay you for being early, but does the employee pay them back for being late? why do you need a good reason to fire someone? why can't people just be fired? i would never want an employee that I couldn't fire. who the fuck would?

That is why I'd have this documented like require time cards, a video feed from the Wyze camera at her front desk position that shows her starting at least 20 minutes late.
It would show she was arriving late more than a few minutes late and it was significantly showing up late.

I find it hard to believe that Equinix did not have a qualified HR manager. Under employment law nearly everywhere, one must document any employee discipline. On the first incidence of being late, there should have been a verbal warning documented with a memo. On the second occurrence, a written warning. The next late appearance should have a day off without pay. Only after such a sequence of documented events should the person be fired. Also, the policy on showing up late should be well explained in the employee manual and be job specific. That is, a customer service rep must be on time every scheduled work period while a janitor may have some flexibility. All employers should follow this procedure to protect themselves. Merely having a long list of late appearances will not justify a firing in a court of law and in fact may in fact show that being late is acceptable company policy.
If it were up to me, I would allow employers to hire and fire at will. It is the employer's company and he/she needs the best employees. But that is not how it is, and any company with more than a few employees had best put together an employee manual that spells out job descriptions and consequences for poor performance.

To be overturned on appeal. NY City is a lawfare scramble.
Showing up late or stoned to work is more or less standard operating procedure for innominates. Sanctifying it for optics is part of the process of killing the businesses by making the sleaze useful idiots think they can get in on the grift.

Sounds like the "mañana" attitude of the islands. My life experience, where people have responsibilities and get things done, on-time appearances are required. Doors open on time, meetings start on time, work starts on time. A person who thinks it is OK to be late is saying "all y'alls time is unimportant to me, I'll get there when I please." Being late shows disrespect. Even busy bosses bust their butt to be at meetings on time because they know their employees have things to do. Being late to work means others cover your post or customers are kept waiting.
i am talking life experience, most people i met or worked with were usually late few minutes. even in government, no one cared ever.

here you go, as i said… payout due to preferential treatment, others constantly late weren’t fired:
“Data from employee swipe-ins would prove that several other non-Black managers had a track record of showing up late to work well after the start of their shift. Europe concluded that she was being punished by selective enforcement of the attendance policy, according to CBS News, which reported on the matter on Friday (May 26). A judge presiding over the case ultimately threw out claims of retaliation.”

That's not reality at all man. If you're given hours or an appointment you show up on time. I get jobs now where I can be flexible and people don't rely on ME being there. Get a job where you don't have a schedule if you want that lifestyle. They do exist. Just get the required work done and don't leave people hanging.
Not trying to be a jerk dude, but run a business. See how the 2 hour window thing works. Total dick move to be late. I'll give someone 5-10 minutes, but after that I have no faith or trust in anything moving forward and I leave. Even if it's only 5 minutes, doing that 23% of the time ain't acceptable. Leaving customers waiting for service? That's bull shit. I don't go to one local pub except for my volleyball league because the service sucks ass. Time is $$$. You eat people's time you lose business. We don't buy food there anymore the service is so bad. Being on time and average work effort is not difficult at all.

Time late matters though. Making a claim other were late means nothing. If they were 10 min late and she was 30 min late that is a difference.
Our judges are screwed. Some are shady for sure. If he asks how late she was 23% of the time he's racist. If whites are 5 minutes late, still unacceptable in my world, but if she was constantly late 20+ minutes, that absolutely matters.
Is someone covering for you? Did you lose a sale because no one was there. This has nothing to do with race and she was fucking late. I don't care about the other people. They should have fired the other people too. I'd bet a lot were black too or maybe hispanic. This is a bull shit story of people being bums.

How did this nonsense ever get to a trial?
She has lost wages, but she wasn't going to make a ton of money working at a gym.
Something is strange.

If you needed more evidence that the jury pool in Manhattan is absolutely infected by full-blown Woke Mind Virus, check out this story:
A black woman worked for the gym Equinox. The company fires her, says she was late 47 times in 10 months. She says she was fired for being black. A jury just awarded her $11.25 million.
Ms. Europe’s tenure at the club was short-lived; Equinox terminated her employment in less than a year because, the company said, she was late 47 times in the course of 10 months. Ms. Europe held a different view of her firing, believing that her lateness was merely a pretext for discrimination, and soon after she filed a lawsuit in Manhattan federal court, arguing that she had been subjected to a hostile work environment and eventually let go because of her race and gender. Last week, a predominantly white jury of five women and three men agreed, delivering a verdict in little over an hour. The next day they awarded her $11.25 million in damages.
The swiftness of the jury’s decision and the size of the payout — $10 million in punitive damages and $1.25 million for the distress she suffered — follow a pattern similar to the verdict reached in the same courthouse just a few weeks before, in E. Jean Carroll’s defamation suit against Donald J. Trump. In both instances, the process and outcome suggest the ways in which recent transformative social movements around race and gender might reframe the way that juries think about the long shadow of emotional disruption that bigotry or sexual violence can produce.
If you own a business in New York City, sell it immediately. If you live there and you value common sense, leave there as quickly as possible. The city is lost.
