Been getting calendar invites for 7:30am standups from a new director based in another time zone. I already log in by 8 but this feels like a slippery slope into earlier and earlier workdays. Should I just suck it up?

Discuss it with them. “Hey I see that you have invited me to a meeting which is before my working hours. Will this be recorded so that I can watch it later?” Or if it suits you then “I’m happy to shift my working hours to attend so that means I’ll be finishing at 4pm”.
Or “can we possibly schedule this an hour later so everyone can be there in person”

Look at it like a lifestyle change. Get to work at 7, leave by 3:30pm.

Absolutely don't attend if you can't either adjust your day to leave earlier, or be paid overtime for the half an hour you're attending work outside of working hours. If they want a stand-up meeting that includes everyone, the onus is on them to make it at a time when everyone is working. If it's outside your hours, it's outside your hours. Others have given nicer ways of expressing that, but don't cave and just attend.

Help,I started a new career n the events industry and I think I have to quit! The person I report to is so disorganized and there are no other managers in the office to direct day to day operations of our department. On day 2 I was asked to go to a job site and perform a 12 hour day without any training, safety equipment or tools. On day 3 I was asked back to site to do general labor! I ended cutting my hand on an exacto knife and there was no first aid! Is this normal?

One more scenario when dealing with counter offer with holding offer for X.

Two company A&B gave more or less package X+3 Lakh.

Can we still negotiate with company A Or B to get top up from X+3 to make a clear decision to choose over one other.

Is this recommended approach?
Or
how do tackle this situation?

Pour in your ideas which will help all.

Thanks,

Get that informed consent. In writing, and follow up in an email and maybe add a memo to the file.
