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.

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!”

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)

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 one rally hurt me, such a huge emotional drag, so little understanding, such hopeless situation.

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.
