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…
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.
“You know this could have just been an email, right?”
This one rally hurt me, such a huge emotional drag, so little understanding, such hopeless situation.
I must have east coast birds, they start at 5am
also it’s a daily meeting 😤
I came to write the same comment, they easily start at 5AM
Annual? Those fuckers be meeting outside my window every morning!
Owl will just stay up. ;)
Sometimes it’s hard to be a night owl.
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.
You’re not wrong, but this is art. It’s more about the sentiment of being the minority that doesn’t want to wake up early when every else does
I interpreted it a bit differently, as if the owl was feeling “ugh, now I have to wake up early because everyone else already decided on it.”
Yeah I think that’s a perfectly valid interpretation
