I try to join about 5 minutes before because I'm terrified of being the first person or the last.

I feel like people who join really early are basically saying "Tell me you have nothing to do without telling me you have nothing to do."

    Probably people who were raised by military parents. My instinct is to join early as fuck, like 10 minutes. I blame my father forcing me to show up early for everything.

    If you're early, you're on time. If you're on time, you're late.

    I had a job like that some years ago, where you were expected to arrive at 540-45 to pregame the day but not clock in until 6. Kind of unspoken, but you knew it was frowned upon if you showed up right at 6 by the death glares (they knew they couldn't mandate being early because laws, but it was just a soft expectation). Someone must have said something, because they don't do that anymore, I'm sure that went over super well for whoever said something.
