Is there a reason you haven't already tried this?
I'm senior enough at our company, and work with a team that respects each other enough, that if someone suggested an 8:30am standup, I could tell them to have fun, and let me know how it went later, when I'm online.
The only exception I can imagine is if we were working closely with a European team, I s'pose.
- AnimalMuppet 3y agoSomeone tried to impose such a time on us. My boss said, "My people don't have to be here at that time." He set our standup at 9:50. So, yeah. If you can get your boss onboard, a lot of things become possible.
- rhelz 3y agoSenior enough that you can get away with this, but not so senior that you face age-related discrimination. Worked for me too as until my beard turned grey. After that, instead of assuming that you are a cracker-jack professional who refuses to do bullshit tasks, they assume you are an old dog who can't learn new tricks.
- idontwantthis 3y agoIt also doesn’t have to be nearly as confrontational as this or the replies to this comment. Your team will probably treat you like a human being and move the meeting back an hour unless there is an important conflict.
- paulcole 3y agoHow is the idea of telling someone that respectful in any way? You’re just laughing them off without considering it. It seems like what you meant is that you’re respected enough to get away with what you want to do, not that it’s as 2-way a street as you first said.
