All my meetings are internal (i.e. not customer facing). I join 15-30 seconds after start time. That’s enough for other people to join in and I don’t have to do the awkward small talk with the host while waiting for others. If I’m hosting, I start the meeting 2 minutes early.
A bit stressed out because we are flying international today with the winter storm raging. Our flight was already cancelled and rebooked and now our connections are bad (e.g. only 1.5 hours to get from one terminal to another at JFK with luggage, in-person check in, and having to go through security again).
