How is that late? It's not rare for some developers to get in between 11am-12pm in the large tech companies I know about/have worked at.
- kbenson 9y agoI imagine if you're hiring offshore workers you aren't working at a large tech company, and there might be a more standard work day which is expected to be adhered to. For example, I doubt most of the time the IT or programmers working for a bank can expect to roll in at 10 or 11. Different jobs have different expectations.
- khedoros1 9y agoI'm in at 9 or 10. In our remote offices, the devs are often in by 8am (partially because that's the only time of day when our hours overlap, and thus the only time when live communication is possible).
- teachrdan 9y agoNine or ten AM is late because the author is German :)
- reaperducer 9y agoThe last two places I worked, the devs were expected in at 7:00am, and 8:00am. The second place gave you a five-minute grace period. These weren't "tech" companies. They were companies in other industries. You're not going to find a lot of 11am devs in finance, healthcare, or manufacturing.

- addicted 9y agoConsidering these developers usually work with people in time zones west of them this is actually the expected time. 11AM would mean 7:30AM German time. Which would align much better with the German dev hours and make working together smoother.
