It really depends on the company and how much the company trusts you.

I'm an employer and if a new employee who has not gained by full trust continually comes in late, then yes it is horrible.

But I do have employees that I really trust. I know they are 100% committed to the business and committed to helping it succeed. They have proven over time that the company is always on their minds. In this case, I could care less if they come in late, work from home, etc. But it does take time.

Also, it is worth noting that losing trust is a lot easier than gaining it.

From all indications it looks like OP's boss and coworkers have zeroed out all trust in him. They're watching the door to mark when he's coming in. When people have earned a certain level of trust, this just doesn't happen.

Either that or you're so incredibly valuable and irreplacable that you can afford to take a fuck-this attitude. But I don't know a lot of 21 year-old junior devs that qualify for this. In fact, nobody really qualifies for this anymore, unless it's your name on the door.
