The worst is “Hey, are you joining?” pings within the first minute of a meeting.

Yes, I’m joining… apologies for taking 5 secs to hang up the last call.

You have never worked in Japan. Feels like there is a meeting prior to the meeting.

If I join early it's because I remembered the call and easier to dial in a few minutes early than a few minutes late because I forgot. It's about my time, not your perception of my time

God I hope you’re not an SM at Deloitte 🤢

Nope 🙂 I will say though, 90% of the folks joining early are clients. The next largest group is PPMDs. I think my logic is sound.

Slalom 🐠 , what’s your WLB like? I have seen some of you posting good things about your WLB. Should I try to make a jump? I like the intellectually fulfilling part of consulting, but the overscope and culture issues at current employer overshadows that. Maybe there’s a consulting firm out there with good WLB 🥸
