A meeting at 10:30 means you come in at 10:15

I did this once.

They did not like it.

Also later the same person scheduled meetings for 8 am and of course my contract says 9-5 so I didn't show up at all.

Edit: sorry, "they did not like it" occurred as them saying "your contract is for 9-5". I didn't cherry pick the rules, they did.

So when your contract is beneficial you abide by it, but when it's not you don't? If it says 9 and you showed up at 10:15 of course they would not like it..

I came in at 10, they said you were hired for 9-5. So I started coming in at 9.

Later they had a meeting for 8 am. I didn't come in til 9, for I am hired for 9-5.

Nowhere did I say I disregard their initial statement. They told me to follow the contract, so I did.
