A similar pet peeve of mine are execs who spontaneously demand entire orgs/divisions/teams attend some earlier than normal start time meeting.. or worse, to do so for a new weekly series. It's like a manager time vs maker time thing. Execs tend to be later in their career without young children to attend to, making enough to have a non-working spouse (and/or some "help"). Further they tend to be early risers and while they start the day earlier I observe they end their day earlier too, becoming unreachable long before I punch out for the day. So sure for exec rolling into the office for a 7:30/8 meeting is no big deal. They've already checked train times to ensure it works for THEIR schedule. For everyone else they suddenly need to re-arrange things like school/daycare drop-offs, coordinate with their working spouses work schedule, might need to wake up 2 hours early to buffer for train schedules, etc. Has knock on effects to both spouses schedule the evening before as well. All so the big guy can pontificate.
