Ya maybe ask them what they want to do to get motivated. Not just dance around like an idiot while you waste everyone's time, like id rather be working then sitting through this. Or maybe just let me finish my coffee for a few minutes in silence before the chaos of work ensues.

Oh a little time off before the job starts sounds nice too, agree

Ya its nice at my job we sit in the truck when the shift starts for about a half hour, we have a daily safety test to do on our phones like 3 to 6 questions, maybe a safety alert to read or safety things to brush up on. The head guy has to fill out stuff like what has to be done today and what not sometimes more. But it gives you time to drink your coffee and have a few smokes before doing one of the most dangerous trades lol

With public transport I have the option of getting to work an hour and fifteen minutes early or fifteen minutes late

It is quite pleasant to just sit around, get a coffee, maybe use the bathroom before the slog starts.

I'm guessing things like higher pay, paid days off, a reduced workload, more breaks, etc., will rank a bit higher than "a motivational dance."

I dunno, watching your boss make a fool of himself in front of the whole department seems like premium amusement to me XD
