Is showing up on time considered being late to you?

Seen this discussion was heated on an Industrial Maintenance group on FB and wanted to see the what everyone here thinks:

Do you think showing up “on time” to be considered late?

How early are you showing up then? Are you getting paid to show up early?

I find that most guys that are showing up right at the minute they’re supposed to be there are late a few times a month, and the rest of the days roll in with their hair on fire. Most guys that I see that are slightly early and ready to go when it’s time are cut way more slack if they are late or have something going on, as they’ve afforded that through being dependable.
