[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's frustrating, OP.

I've learned that while I'm pouring my morning cup of coffee to quickly check my work calendar to see what meetings I have that day.  Doing that at 6am means I can see if anything popped up after I got offline the night before.  My boss is one who often works at 10pm so this could totally happen to me.

I can’t just adjust last minute though, since I have to drop off my daughter. If I had known even during the day yesterday, I could have made arrangements.[/quote]

I hear you but at least you could have declined the meeting rather than not knowing about it at all. [/quote]

Fair enough. I guess I now need to be one of those people who is checking email at all hours. So much for work-life balance![/quote]

You asked for this by begging to work from home. Enjoy![/quote]

How does WAH vs WOH change a 9pm email? [/quote]

Because she's be at work at 8 am otherwise, not dropping off her kid. You don't get work-life balance working from home, sorry![/quote]

How narrow-minded do you have to be to assume that work must start at 8am. It just depends on the industry - 8am would be an egregiously late start for a trading desk, and an incredibly early start for NY big law. [/quote]

Again, you don't get work-life balance working from home. You all begged for it, and now you're reaping what you've sowed. Cry me a river.[/quote]

I don't get this. Do you think office jobs are all inflexible? I work from the office every day and I drop my kids off at 8... because I'm in the office at 9! I leave at 3 and finish up after my kids go to bed. I have been doing this since way before the pandemic. [/quote]
