Me any time my team discusses the notion of moving our standup to before core hours
That doesn't even make sense. The earliest standups should be is when core hours start.
If I'm in an interview and I hear the company call business hours "core hours", I'm immediately running. That is corporate jargon straight from capitalist hell. They don't even hide that they're trying to own our lives now, so they say "non-core hours" to try to normalize working at 8pm.
My work does. But it's not business hours. It's like 9-3. It's when they suggest most people be available for meetings, calls. So when people flex their schedules, they'd prefer it if most people were still available at that time.
Where I worked, "core hours" were 10:00-14:00. You had to work 8 hours at any time you want, including the core hours. So 10:00-18:00, 6:00-14:00, or whatever you want in-between. I found it quite nice.
"You know this could have just been an email, right?"
I must have east coast birds, they start at 5am
I came to write the same comment, they easily start at 5AM
also it's a daily meeting 😤
This one rally hurt me, such a huge emotional drag, so little understanding, such hopeless situation.
Annual? Those fuckers be meeting outside my window every morning!
I'll take any birds like that, hell even crows, but I got seagulls and they scream from the top of their lungs at 5am.
Nah, that's different. That's the daily standup meeting.
Just imagine how many of those meetings could have been an email as well ...
mockingbird at 4:30 AM: HEY GUYS I BROUGHT SEED FOR THE MEETING IN 2.5h. LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY TRIP TO GET IT IN EACH OF YOUR NATIVE LANGUAGES.
Hey who let you post a photo of me??!!
Who who!
Sometimes it's hard to be a night owl.
Owl will just stay up. ;)
This is exactly what it's like when one'semployer has offices on the exact opposite sides of the world.
I'm talking antipodal points here.
They're getting up late, huh?
Other than the time being 7 AM, I'm generally that first bird. I try to make sure that everyone is on board with what we go with. I will ask the owl, and if it doesn't work for them, I'll check with the others for a better time. There is no being overruled before you can even speak up.
