[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they send the invite after 5, I won't even see it until 9AM. [/quote]

Doesn’t your work email beep? It is drilled into me every night check work email for meetings. I also check it in morning.

My one job we had nearly all meetings between 730 am and 930 am or lunch time or after 430 pm.

We blocked 930 am to noon and 2pm to 430 pm as core work hours. Meetings were at non core work hours [/quote]

DP... but no, I don't check. Why would you do that? Also, the point of core work hours is that's when the majority of people are working. You're supposed to have meetings then! So backwards.

I would not take an 8am meeting unless it was a good reason. I wouldn't say why, though, I would just say I can't make it. [/quote]

Meetings are not work. Morning stand ups and Scrums are common in some companies. But at non BS govt jobs meetings are rare. For instance my bi monthly departmental status meeting was 730 am to 9am where we run through our trans projects. My monthly all hands was at 12-1 pm on third Wed of month and my weekly SMT meeting was 12 noon Mondays. I only had those on calendar.

I did not have a single meeting 9-12 or 2 to 5pm on calendar they are work hours. I would poke someone on slack or do shared doc or quick google handout but never a meeting

And my morning meeting my kids were up and gone by 7 am. I do meeting hoodie unshaven in pajama pants with hoodie on looking all IT cool. Even if going bus stop just turn off camera and take phone with you. We get folks walking to school. We also get folks on thread mill at meeting or eating breakfast. [/quote]
