Charge ahead and just do a great job the way you normally do.

(I would not usually advise this about being new to cultures in norms in a job/neighborhood/school etc., but in this case they are all clearly conditioned away from work life balance and that is a stupid norm)[/quote]

This.  Do not justify or apologize.  Decline 8:30 am and 5 pm meetings and say you are not available.[/quote]

An excellent way to get labeled an inflexible poor performer. Honestly if you’re trying to say to your new team that you aren’t willing to make any changes to adapt to the new environment you are going to be a problem they don’t need.

You have to decide what your priorities are right now. When my kids were young I stayed in an extremely flexible boring job that never required anything outside of 9-5. Now that my kids are older I’m working longer and even traveling for work again, for a bigger job with a great title. This job works great for my life right now.

I would not expect the entire new team to change meeting times for the new lady, I would be annoyed if you came in and made scheduling demands for the rest of us.[/quote]
