I can relate to your situation. My wife, like you, seems to have some sort unshakeable predisposition to be late all the time. I on the other hand am always 5-10 minutes early. You can imagine my grumblings. Getting up earlier is a question of motivation. Even my wife gets up at the crack of dawn if we are going somewhere special on a holiday. So I would guess that you are not motivated enough to make the effort of getting up 15 minutes earlier. You could fix the source of that problem. A bit of psychotherapy might be all you need. As per @dropit_sphere, you might be under-motivated because you are under-paid and you probably chill out on the low-pressure environment. Reading the other comments, you have options: 1. Take a job where you can set your own hours. 2. Take a job where you get paid a lot more, challenged and motivated to change for the better, including being on time. 3. Get your lateness behaviour dealt with. 4. Don't do anything, wait till you get fired then re-consider 1-3 above.
