If only standups were near as pleasurable as watching a comedy routine. No, Jim, we don’t need to hear your day minute by minute. It isn’t that hard, Jim, just keep it to the same length as everyone else, Jim. (Jim has since been talked to about this)
I dunno. I shudder at the thought of certain individuals trying a standup comedy routine. If the karaoke happy hour was anything to go by… there’s not enough booze in the world to make that painless; and they frown on drinking at these team building things anyhow.
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.
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
Personally, comedy routines shouldn’t start before happy hour, at the earliest.
And I’m not entirely sold on the team building…
