Agreed. Business is full of enough passive-aggressive behaviour, no need for more. Either punish it with a real punishment, or ignore it. The best way to handle the meeting situation is to simply start making decisions without them. Eventually if they want their career to go somewhere, they'll start showing up on time. I find the post-college age range tends to do this kind of stuff, but when they don't get the promotion they're "clearly" entitled to, they start to behave like adults.
