Who are these people you’re working with, savages? Some of us (well, me in particular) prefer voice calls at a highly sensible 3 PM. People who enjoy 8 AM Zoom calls are immediately suspected sadists and sociopaths in my careful estimation.

I’ve worked with loonies that wanted 6 am in person meetings. I basically laughed the times someone suggested I come in before I normally even wake up, before kids are at school, etc just to discuss something that is inevitably not an emergency of any sort.

And just to add to the OP’s message, we don’t need calls after 5 pm unless it really can’t wait until tomorrow, which is usually can.

I have a call at 7 am today and everyone’s just going to have to deal with me half awake, barely brushed hair, and my two kids in and out of the office. These early morning video meeting people deserve a special place in hell.

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?
