I join when the meeting reminder pops up and I click "join", right on time. I don't like small talk, no point in being early.
Plus it’s not like there’s anything happening in the first couple minutes. The more people who are in the meeting the more likely someone will be late anyway.
I feel like people who join really early are basically saying "Tell me you have nothing to do without telling me you have nothing to do."
Not quite. I join on time because I'm busy and if I don't join now I will completely forget. I just keep working until everyone else gets there and the I'll turn on my camera and mic.
Probably people who were raised by military parents. My instinct is to join early as fuck, like 10 minutes. I blame my father forcing me to show up early for everything.
If you're early, you're on time. If you're on time, you're late.
I had a job like that some years ago, where you were expected to arrive at 540-45 to pregame the day but not clock in until 6. Kind of unspoken, but you knew it was frowned upon if you showed up right at 6 by the death glares (they knew they couldn't mandate being early because laws, but it was just a soft expectation). Someone must have said something, because they don't do that anymore, I'm sure that went over super well for whoever said something.
Sometimes I join really early BECAUSE I have stuff to do. I lose track of time, so I'll open the reminder and keep the room running in the background while I accomplish something else, once I hear someone talking, I'll switch tabs and focus on the meeting.
This is me, too
I teach over teams. I plan bullshit for the first 5 - 10 minutes, because there will always be late people.
