Explanation

Punctuality is crucial in professional settings - arriving late without notification signals unreliability and disrespect for others' time. Even small delays of 10-15 minutes should be communicated to your host or business associate. Blaming management or assuming lateness is acceptable only damages your professional reputation and business relationships.
