I had a 30 minute meeting starting at 4:30 which overran by about 30 minutes – so it actually finished at 5:30. It’s a problem when I finish at 5, but that’s work I suppose.
The next day, I logged in 5 minutes late at 9:05. I received a message from the Tester on my team:
“are you joining this meeting?”
“What meeting?”
So I opened my emails and saw a request for a 9am meeting which was sent at 5:45pm last night. Ridiculous.
We have this concept of flexible working so the “core hours” are 10-4. This is because you can basically work 8-4, 9-5, or 10-6. Therefore meetings can only really be scheduled between 10-4 if you want everyone to turn up. A 9am meeting isn’t bad for me, but it is when you haven’t had the chance to even acknowledge the invite, and haven’t had a chance to even consider or act upon what was discussed the day before.
