It’s a bit more than a couple hours before midnight in my current timezone. I’m probably more tired than I ought to be given it’s mid-evening where I’ve lived the better part of 20 years, but I’m adapting to my current circumstances. I’ll probably wake around 7, and probably begin work between 9–10. Some of my team will begin work around the same time but several hours earlier by their clock. Some will probably be nearing the end of their workday. We’re all doing pretty well with the overlapping hours we have and make efforts to overlap them as well as we can as needed. No one’s being judged positively or negatively on the hours they keep, we’re adults doing our jobs and taking it seriously. If your workplace is rigged to favor such arbitrary competition, there’s probably much more wrong with your workplace. I’m sure that’s real and I don’t mean this to be dismissive. But this definitely strikes me as more a symptom than a particular problem in itself.
