As a euro, living and working in the US, it is, unfortunately, how it sometimes rolls. It's all wrong. If someone is working "out of timezone", a decent manager should know, respect, and accommodate that. Good ones will. It's just them doing their proper job. Unfortunately, it doesn't always happen that way. We have IC's scattered all over Europe and we know that their day is their day. They start early and they end when they end. They have lives. Some companies don't understand that. And some managers are idiots; but I suppose they have bosses too. Honestly, me simply saying that you have a bad manager is depressing to me, and unhelpful for you. But, that seems the crux of the matter. It'd be funny to ask for a meeting at 5AM EST, just as you hit mid-morning. But, that probably won't end well. You're probably going to have a convo with the manager, and as diplomatically as possible, establish some ground rules. My advice, knowing nothing, is to stay away from the blast that might occur when a boss gets bossy.
