Communicating Lateness

This guidance describes how to communicate lateness for one's responsibilities.

One of the core responsibilities of true professionals is a respect for timeliness. Modern professionals have a special responsibility about time, because there is so much temporal inefficiency created when one works with others. Because others rely on our work being timely, we are obligated to overcommunicate about matters of timeliness, and that means admitting when we know we're going to be late.
