Skipping meetings is not the way to do well at work, no matter how unproductive you are in the morning. It's the way to get fired. If you care about your job, stop doing anything except lying in bed in the dark at 10PM, take some sleep pills (drowsy allergy pills are available over the counter, but doctors can prescribe better), and actually try to go to sleep instead of staying up until 2AM.
Everyone has to make compromises for their job and yes, 99% of us hate coming in early in the morning, especially on Monday. It isn't strange. If you can't handle that you should find a job that doesn't have morning meetings, not do bad at your job. People who skip meetings hurt their coworkers performance as well because everyone has to put up with you not knowing the latest decisions and what is going on.
If you can't handle it, you could do night shift retail at a gas station, for example, or be a contractor and always schedule with your clients later in the day, etc. but you really can't work in a large corporation.
- davismwfl 12y agoWhile I totally agree with your point that missing meetings is a quick and frankly valid reason to get fired, his situation can't be resolved by pills if he truly has this diagnosis. From having learned about it because a past employee suffered from it, there are actually chemical/hormone differences in their bodies that cause it, and not something they can control totally; but they are not totally helpless either. From what I learned consistent sun exposure even helps some people. That doesn't mean they don't have any control, just that depending on the severity of their phase difference they may not be able to do a 9-1700 job like you said, so contracting or finding a more flexible employer or industry is the better route.
