If you are required to do one of the following at work, would you rather have to come in early, or stay late?

For me, the former.

I'd rather just defer the issue to my qualified staff.

I stay late much more often than I come in early.  I think I like it this way.

During my restaurant management days, it just depended on the day/shift I was working. If I was closing, obviously I more likely to come in early rather than stay late, and vice versa for opening. In reality, it was more likely that I'd go in for a couple hours on my day off if there's something I needed to accomplish and didn't want to delegate.

When I was managing a team, I wasn't so anal-retenatiove as to require everyone to be logged in on time. I could tolerate about five-ten minute as long as you check in online, and because we were all working remotely working, you could say "Hello" in the chat room while you are making coffee. I really didn't care as long as your cases were updated, your customers were happy, and you attended all meetings. I may challenge my top people with some leave early request.... "Yeah, we may have an issue with you leaving at 2:15 PM to attend your kid's game on Friday after. Can you leave at 2:00 PM instead?" The result... my team were more than willing to work late to get their work done and were happy, and we had the top customer satisfaction scores.

Of course, someone in management decided that I should be replaced, and that replacement was one of those military types.
