manager here, how old are you? parents of school age children (like half the workforce) are drinking coffee by 6:30 local. overseas workers are getting paid foreign salaries, they understand the deal they made. its the under-26yo crowd who is up till 1am watching netflix and can’t get to bed on time. what categories am i missing that can’t attend a meeting at 9?

CEO here - check yourself. The role /you/ were hired for requires essential social skills such as understanding that some people are night owls and some are morning people. The category you're missing is the one that will naturally wake up later than you. Also, women require more sleep than men on average.

  Google tells me: > Women need on average 11 additional minutes of sleep each night. Hmm, not much.

YTA. I'm 30 and i have to waste my time in the evening because i do not get tired before midnight except when I'm physically exhausted. Which typically never happens in a office job. I can go to bed earlier but then i will just lay wake until my sleep time. SO has it reverse, she wakes up at 7-8 am even at the weekend and is unable to get back to sleep.

46 here with school-age children. I'm gonna disagree. I realize we're an outlier because we homeschool, but our kids wake up on their own, happy and eager for the day. Too often, I see and read about kids being dragged out of bed and sitting at bus stops while it's still dark outside. All so the working class can be at their desks by 8am? Never agreed with that. I'm still a night owl. 12am is the baseline. 1am is not uncommon. 2 or 3am is occasional. I can attend a 9am. I prefer 10 or later. Most of my team does as well, and they all rise earlier than I do.

Maybe the bigger question is why have a daily meeting in the first place?
