“You know this could have just been an email, right?”
Hey who let you post a photo of me??!!
Who who!
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.
Ikr
That doesn’t stop the “but it’s disruptive to have it 2h into my day”
You chose this life mate
Them: “I just wake up at 4 a.m. naturally and can’t seem to sleep in!”
Also them: “Have you tried to bed and waking up earlier? All it takes is practice!”
I mean honestly yeah after working multiple jobs for years I had to wake up around 4 to be able to get off work around 2 to make it to my second job at 3 now even though I have a single job I still get up at 4 it’s just ingrained at this point, thr benefit is I still get off at 230 and if people want me to stay past that at least it’s over time pay
As the opposite to this it takes me a solid month to get to a point where getting up for work at 8 doesn’t kill me. It takes all of an afternoon nap to flip back to my preferred sleep pattern of 2am to 10am. I CAN get up early, me and my meatsuit really don’t seem to want to though.
I have spent the last two decades being absolutely miserable because I have to get up at 6 a.m. and my body has never adjusted. No, it doesn’t matter how long I sleep, if I get up before 8 a.m. then no amount of sleep is going to make me feel rested.
When I take vacations and get up around 8:00 then I feel fine all day.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Just imagine how many of those meetings could have been an email as well …
This one rally hurt me, such a huge emotional drag, so little understanding, such hopeless situation.
