Had a union rep call me at 7.15am asking to discuss a staffing concern. I respect it, but wow, that was a sharp start to the day. Union relationships can make or break a workplace culture. How do you keep things collaborative without losing boundaries?

If you are in the office at 7:15, what is the problem with someone reaching out to you during your working hours?

I'll be honest, I don't really respect that 😆 either they are working way too early and expecting you to drop everything and do the same, or they are in a different time zone and being inconsiderate of what time it is for you. Either way, I would be having a serious conversation with them about professionalism and communication expectations.

Why did they have to call so early? I probably would have answered and done my best to help but dang I would have been annoyed.
