Construction people get up suuuuuuuuper early

I actually prefer to get up about 9 and work until around 9...that would be my ideal schedule.

8-4 is my ideal. Would love that

Do jobs like this actually exist outside of government?

The entire head of this 50,000 employee company I work for recently sent out an email that declared meetings should not start before 9 and must end by 5. Time zones may cause some exceptions.

Gonna win 'em all!

I'm not in corporate life, but this seems pretty normal? No?

at my job you're free to start a meeting before 9 but no one will show up

i don't really have a frame of reference bc i work at a very small company but 50,000 seems incredibly large. how many companies in the US have 50,000 or more employees? like, less than 10? i mean i could be way off here, i just have no idea.

It's a global company.

Historically, a lot of meetings started at 8. Would occasionally have a meeting until 5:30 or 6:00.

The only thing worse than a 8am meeting is a 1pm meeting. My typical lunch hour starts at 12:30 so when some a-hole calls for a meeting at 1 it throws my whole day off.

I usually eat at noon and then I have appt's at 1pm and it's tough. I'm like a snake after I eat. I have to move around to get it all down. I do this weird head nod thing and belch a lot while I'm talking during the meeting. It's a mess.

I have a guy who always schedules Friday meetings at 3. The worst.

I generally work 7:30-4 with a half hour lunch, although sometimes I decide to take a longer lunch or get here later (due to all the K-96/I-135/I-235 traffic) or whatever and stay a little later.
