"I recently disagreed with a new crew member who showed up to the project right on time, but then he started eating his breakfast and finishing his coffee before getting to work. The rest of the crew had been working for about 20 minutes before this crew member started working. I pulled this person aside on their lunch break and told him he needed to be ready to work at 8:00 sharp and to eat his breakfast and drink his coffee before arriving at work. He disagreed and said that his old job allowed him to take the first half-hour on the clock to eat breakfast, drink coffee, and build team morale. I calmly told him that this company does not operate that way and that if he wanted to eat, drink, and talk with the guys, he could arrive half an hour earlier. After our talk, he started arriving half an hour early, and we never had another issue."
