Need advice on how to talk to my project manager about working west coast hours as someone on the east coast. Meetings until 8pm are really taking a toll, especially since I’m most productive/prefer to work in the morning. Anything is appreciated!!

Buddy, West coast starts later…

Oh you meant currently working WC hrs, yeah that’s tough - as someone who does the opposite frequently, just keep them mindful of the time difference and bring it up if it’s really an issue

Seriously start the work in chaos and then later say “We understand everything is complicated in this project but it is how it is and we have to work hard to tackle this!” I mean it was you who made it complicated!

Why do leaders keep comparing how “good”the new staff/seniors have it because they make more money starting out then they did and working 55 hours is better than the 70-80 hours they used to work? Instead they should compare what options they have available to them and what their goals are.

Is it bad manners or just a bad idea to go back to a recruiter if they got you a job that wound up being a bad fit?
For context, I don’t think they misled me. The job changed 3 weeks after I got hired, and got stuck in a role that’s just not a good fit. Gave it 6 months of honest effort and I’m ready to start job hunting.
I saw this recruiter make a post on LinkedIn, and I liked working with them the first time, and I want to reach out. But I don’t know what they’ll think.
