If you work in complete isolation, sure, but that's not reality for most. There are times when you need to communicate with others, in-person, beyond scheduled meetings. What do you do when that person is not in yet? You wait. What about if they left early?
If every single person in the office decided on a custom, non-overlapping schedule, how productive do you think that would be? Unless you're open to answering e-mails and IMs at home and on the go at all hours.
- perfTerm 11y agoYea I was working for a company for a very short period which was focused on autonomy. The texts, emails, and slack messages as early as 7, as late as midnight, on saturday, on sunday. It drove me crazy to say the least as someone who, ironicly enough, valued his own autonomy very greatly. That didn't last long.
