I'm in meetings until 8 p.m. regularly, waste hours in airports and drive highways in blizzards. If I don't show up until 8:30 a.m. occasionally, get bent.
this. i spend weeks on end on offshore facilities working 14 hour days away from family and friends. fly in helicopters in dangerous conditions. spend hours in hotels and airports. i turn up to work when i like. i am early 95% of the time but if my boss ever said anything about 10 or so days i am late, id be outraged. i use my internal gauge to sense if i'm taking the piss or not. i know i put in a lot more than i get out. i dont know about all your working arrangements but someone getting fired for tardiness would have a much bigger negative effect on morale than the tardiness ever caused. everyone at my work is too busy doing their own work to keep tabs on when everyone else is working.
