I missed my flight tonight to get to work tomorrow at 8 AM because of a gate change. Now I'm arriving tomorrow at noon. Am I getting fired?

Who set an expectation of getting to client site by 8am on a Monday? That's crazy.

Travel issues happen but no excuse for not paying attention when the gates change, this happens all the time and you should know better. Won't get fired but you should not let it happen again.

I agree with D2, to the extent that it doesn't get you fired but it gets you put on the "he has issues" list. Don't tell people you missed it because of a gate change that you weren't paying attention to. Make up something else and say you had to rebook to tomorrow.

Highly doubtful, travel issues happen

Sorry this might be a millennial and being direct is probably going to earn me a call from his parents. So sorry A1. But really missing a flight for not paying attention is an unnecessary mistake. Missing due to delayed connections or car accidents or any number of other things is fine. But not carelessness.

like

Regardless of generation, not a good reason to miss a flight. I'd be surprised if a Gen X or Baby Boomer would ask if they would get fired for this.

If you provide value, you won't get fired. We don't even fire people who are worthless, let alone those who are late a few hours. I'm convinced you'd have to shit on the partners desk to get "fired"

The millennial tag is unwarranted, though justified. However, as a fellow millennial my advice to OP would be to make up a different excuse. Carelessness is not firable but it's a durable offense.

Just let them know now you will be in at 12. Don't say it was because of the wrong gate.

@OP I hope you at least know to inform your project leadership tonight rather than just showing up at noon tomorrow.
