I try to join about 5 minutes before because I’m terrified of being the first person or the last.

    5 min early. If you’re not 5 min early, you’re late.

    Honestly, usually it’s 4-5 min early: I’ll pop in and noodle about prepping whatever, documenting something or just staring out the window a sec to clear my head. I’m usually very satisfied I’m not late by normie standards because being on-time shows a modicum of respect to others. If it’s a shit meeting, that’s an exception. I have one where I’m noticeably barely-on-time, and everyone points it out.

    I’d encourage meetings to lock at the start time if I could, so late joiners wait in the lobby until someone opens the door, and then we’ll know whom to heckle.
