Does your company expect you to travel on Sundays rather than early Monday when going out of town for a work assignment? My firm has had annual trainings begin early Monday morning the last few years so that there’s basically no way to travel there by plane Monday morning and get there in time. Curious if this is commonplace everywhere else

Yes - most travel Sunday. Some do travel early early Monday but most travel down sometime Sunday.

I feel like I did this a decent amount at B4.

In my couple industry roles, pretty much everyone agrees to leave Monday as a travel day. No one wants to spend their Sunday flying out to work. Just comes with being in a more chill environment I guess.

Normal for us as well

Nope. Monday to Thursday. But I also set that boundary early because I have kids. Every job is different but an annual training - a Sunday once a year should not be a big deal. Frequent travel is another story.
