[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of you with meetings at five and six PM—yuck.  Why is this a thing? I can see a quick call or email but a multi-stakeholder meeting???[/quote]

Really?   You can't think of a single industry that has work beyond 10am-4pm hours?    You don't think there are ANY jobs/companies around here that have other offices or clients in other time zones, and may need to coordinate long conference calls or online meetings with them?
What kind of job do you do that can keep an employee with such limited perspective and experience?[/quote]

Any decision made at 5pm won’t be acted on until next day so why not have meeting first thing in morning and then executed?[/quote]

Did you quote the wrong post?  Your response makes no sense.[/quote]

PP was saying that many industries have meetings past 4pm. I was saying why??  They have the meeting then the day ends and nothing gets done anyways till the next day.

Time zone alignment is a poor choice. At 5pm the only time zones that active are US western time zones, Hawaii and Alaska, which could have met for a 3pm meeting easily.

It’s 6am in Japan at 5pm, not too early for their work day. It’s “work day” time for most of the empty Pacific at that hour, so regular 5pm meetings make no sense.
