Okay kids, this is what we call, micro management leading to a hostile work environment.

I don't think I've worked for a company that gave a shit if I was 10 minutes late.

One company had a time clock that only kept time records to one decimal place of an hour. The clock literally couldn't differentiate between someone clocking in 5 minutes early, or 5 minutes late.

Anyone who cares about how trivially late you are, isn't someone worthy of your labor.

That entirely depends on the job. I worked retail management for a store that had a lot if single parents that had two jobs. I’d cut them slack if they were late getting from one job to another. Im a lot less inclined to tolerate lateness when someone doesn’t have other responsibilities. When their lateness forces others to stay late to cover them it is a problem.

Why stay late? Just leave. You're not getting OT.

Company's shit is company's shit. End of shift ut stops being your problem.

If you are salaried you can’t “just leave”. If you are hourly you can but you might want to be seen as the person willing to help out when needed because that dies get reciprocated presuming your managers are normal human beings.

At this place part timers were getting full benefits so most would be willing to help because only a fool would give up that job.
