This is me on the West Coast as all of the East Coast fucks set meeting times.
"Excuse me. I'm not awake at that hour. If you wish me to be mentally present and engaged.... this could be an email."
In my particular case, I also have Indian time zones they're trying to accommodate.
Software is basically hell now.
as a midwesterner you both annoy me. Why are east coast people early risers and west coasters late shifters. It just exacerbates the time difference. So many east coast people seemed to work more like 8-4 where 7:30am their time seems reasonable to them but 4:30pm is way late and then the west coasters don't want to start until like 10am their time but see 7pm as fine. And oh boy if you have to have them both in a meeting then the only time that works is my prefered lunch time. shakes fist at clouds furriously!!!
A lot of the West Coasters in my company start at like 7am. Including me. Against my will.
We don't need this much overlapping time or meetings.
Let me sleep till fucking 8am for a change.
The east coast should just start start at 9am, make the overlap less severe. Seeing people start at 6am ET kills me, lol.
this is what cracks me up. if east coast would do 10 and west coast 8 then everyone would be pretty close together.
I get clients that respond at 3:30am here. They start work at 6am eastern >_>
