[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]

DP.

I get to wake up early in the morning and do a good chunk of my my work before anyone in my house wakes up.. This is work life balance for me. Give me the early meetings and remote work anyday.

With the early morning meetings, if I can't make it, I can't. But when I can make a meeting, I always do. We have clients from all over the world so oddly scheduled meetings do happen.
