Meetings on a Monday morning is stupid
A senior manager I worked for as a hired gun wanted my perspective on the recurring Monday morning 8:30 AM meetings. I told him to stop doing it, and the reason I shared is that Monday morning meetings means that you make people work Sunday night. I was surprised when he actually took my advice. So he changed it to Friday after lunch, but in person and in the office (for a staff that was mostly remote at the time). That’s a touché if I ever saw one. What a passive-aggressive mofo.
Wow! Yeah, that’s ridiculous. I think some people have gotten so used to suffering at work that they just can’t imagine a world where people are not suffering in order to make money or keep a job. That manager sounds like one of those people. Upper management isn’t even requesting it, they’re just making team members suffer for free?? Cool lol

If you all hate them, why not reschedule?
Our global team meets monthly and local start time for west coasters is 5am PT.
Dang! So at least once a month, people on your team are waking up at like 3:30am PT, Monday morning, to be camera ready and possibly participate.. I couldn’t do it. It’d have to rotate to a west coast friendly time slot at least 5 times a year to get me on camera. Lol! I’m a black woman, I can’t just roll out of bed and be on camera, my hair doesn’t work like that. I need at least 15/20 minutes just to get it together, unless I was allowed to wear my bonnet on the call… lol!
How the hell…I can’t wake up before 10am
It’s literally painful. Then 2 hours later, everyone’s all awake and chatty on our communications platform and ready to socialize. I gotta figure out a way to move this meeting.
