And what about us who are night owls and are non-functional until about 12 / 1-2PM, the current system filters out all of us.
The solution was literally “come in any time you want as long as your projects get done” - what’s your objection? That everybody who wants to come in at lunchtime, and work until the small hours force themselves around your schedule because you have a family?
- ghaff 6y agoThe issue is that there are very few jobs where you can basically ignore the rest of the world (or even the rest of the world in nearby timezones). If you're a solo writer or programmer sure. But if you work with other people, not wanting to have meetings before 2pm is often a problem. (As would someone who wanted to work midnight to 8am.) Even jobs that are quite flexible are going to want some overlap time and, even if an atypical schedule allows for a few hours of overlap, the reality is that people will get tired of always having to schedule around your preferences.
- rwnspace 6y agoYou're absolutely right, I'm always tired when I have to schedule around other people's preference of working 9-5. It's not like schools should be scheduling for 9AM or earlier starts either, it's bad for the kids, particularly teenagers.
