[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a partner in big law, and have probably 3-8 client calls a day, so I feel like that gives insight into multiple different workplaces - because I see what times people are suggesting calls.

The vast majority of calls are scheduled no earlier than 9:30et and no later than ending by 5pm et. My clients in central time often suggest 9am et (8am central) - I wonder if they get up super early in the Midwest to adjust for eastern time? No one would ever apologize for a call at 9am or a call before 6pm. But anything before 9 or after 6 is only happening because it’s urgent and we literally can’t find any other time to speak, and then everyone is profusely apologetic about cutting into peoples personal time.

So when I hear about regular 8am calls, that seems very unusual compared with the hundred of clients I have worked with.

That said, dh used to have a standing 8:30am Monday call which was to accommodate their global team. It sucked and when he became boss he did away with it. [/quote]

In the Midwest here and I would laugh at your face if you suggested a call after 5pm[/quote]
