....but not actually *in* your office building when you hear the clock striking eleven, does that make you "late"?

Everything is a matter of perspective, so interpretation and compromise are key factors. Negotiate. You can argue reasonably for or against this question.

Ah yea! You're supposed to be working at 11, not "in sight" of working.
Wow. As a teen, had a curfew, and I was to be inside the house by curfew, not on our road, not pulling in the driveway, not getting out of the car, but in the house. The only possible excuse would have been if I were dead or dying. As a result, the one time I was late due to car troubles in the dead of winter, my parents knew something was wrong fast, and were able to find me and help. This was naturally before the days of cellphones, but I still believe the only excuse for being late is some sort of dire emergency. I hate when people are late for anything. It's rude and shows a blatant lack of respect to those around you.

I was always tough that if your right on time your late. You should always try to be at your obligated destination five to ten minutes prior to the agreed time. It makes you look very responsible, and is the first step in being professional. So, in conclusion you were late, and that was a dumb question, not unless they have someone on the roof of the office building marking attendance as you enter the parking lot.

I worked in an enormous building. Because the building was so vast, employees had 6 minutes grace from their allotted starting time to clock in and get to their workplace.

Um yeah, if you are not clocked in on or before 11 A, than you are late, and the time goes by work clock, not the time you have set on your cheep rolex watch. Even tho you clock in on or before 11 A by your cheep rolex whatch and your cheep rolex watch is 1 min slow from your work time, you will be late.... set the time on your cheep rolex watch 5 min faster than the time clock at work, so you have 5 extra min....

Do you punch in on the clock? If so, you're late. If not, you're not late. Why are you working at an office making some fat dude in the upper floor rich? Go pursue your dreams!!

Yep! Unless your office has a '5-minute window' to allow for general lateness. Otherwise, prepare yourself for 'a talk' with your boss.

Yes, it makes you late because you are not "At Work" (meaning working). Set the alarm 5 minutes early and you'll make it on time.

Unless you can and are doing your job when you are "in sight" of your office building, you are late.
