    “We’ll wait a few more minutes for person X to join, then get the meeting started,” like the other ten people who made the effort to show up on time deserve to be punished with extra meeting time for being responsible. Bonus points if this causes the meeting to run a few minutes long.

      I talk to the C suite and lab staff regularly, sometimes, you can’t duck out of front the muckity mucks, sometimes you can’t leave a conversation with researchers and partners. But, I’m frequently the one who say, we’re 5 minutes from close, 2 minutes from the end of our time, ok, we’re going to have to drop off. With either.
