[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Talk to the people organizing the meetings and share that it's difficult to make meetings before 9am and after 5pm. Maybe they can change them. [/b]

Put in your calendar which days you are WFH so people just expect you'll join remote for any meetings planned on those days. [/quote]

I'll put my two cents in here and say don't do this. Just keep your calendar hyper up to date, and decline the meetings you can't make and don't perceive as crucial.

I generally agree with PPs that you shouldn't try to change too much and should just put your head down and do good work, but you might also need to realize that you had a pretty ideal setup before and really try to think through whether you are able to make some changes/concession. Never being available before 9 or 9:30 seems a little unreasonable, but I agree that 5pm (or later) meetings should be a rarity.

Can you work long hours on one of your days in the office? Can your husband pick up some slack? Giving the appearance of extreme availability at the beginning may buy you some credit when you have to pull back a bit.[/quote]
