Unfortunately, there are umpires who deliberately show up late so they won't have to work the plate. I prefer the plate, so it doesn't bother me - it just tells me something about my partner.
I always tell new umpires to work the plate - you see the whole game, you're involved in it actively, and you get to make decisions on nearly every pitch.
