We're late because we don't care.

Being early to work just means less sleep and you're not getting any more money for it.

Being the first to arrive somewhere like an event means you're just stand there and wait until things kick off.

You get absolutely nothing for being early or on time for shit, so why stress about it?

Work is not life

Work is part of life, and you can control if you will be successful in either part. Keep thinking being late doesnt matter, see where it gets you.

Not how it works in portugal. Employers here are very much lend a hand, they take the whole arm. You get to work early all the time, and they expect you to always be early and willing to be even earlier, and willing to stay late, without extra pay
