I must have east coast birds, they start at 5am
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.
Owl will just stay up. ;)
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.
This one rally hurt me, such a huge emotional drag, so little understanding, such hopeless situation.
