I wake up at 4am but don’t talk to anyone for a few hours. My voice will sound groggy too at 10:30am if you’re the lucky SOB who gets to speak to me first.

We have our standup call at 12pm, and most of our team members wake up by 11:59am. So 🤷‍♂️

Were they supposed to be doing anything before the meeting?

I mean, it is the right question to ask though.

Did I miss something before 10:30am? Did I not meet a deliverable or deadline, because otherwise, what's the problem? Maybe I worked late on my own the night before, maybe I'm not feeling well, maybe mind your own damn business.

When I feel inspiration at 11pm and pump out a bunch of golden rockstar productivity on my own, I don't see anyone saying, no, no, it's after hours, please don't work and do good things for the company.

F* schedules/hours/time clocks, etc, period unless there's an legitimate reason for them.

So glad I haven't worked for any clients that watch the clock or keep a schedule in the last decade.

My quality results are the end product and what you hired me for, and every client has been satisfied, end of story.

If the real reason you're mentioning they just woke up is because they didn't deliver on something or missed something, that's a different story. Your OP reads like you're just being pissy they got some extra sleep though.

*Only applies to jobs that don't require in-person presence with set schedule due to required interactive/meetings/etc. I'm not advocating for people to blow off work they were expected to be present for at an agreed upon time. Just saying focus on results, stop babysitting and micromanaging. Hire people you trust to get things done.

My staff is getting fired for this on the 15th!

Get your work done, and I don't care. Screw up 100% of the things you touch, and I care a lot.

Maybe they are in a different time zone? Or worked late the night before?

I was called into HR because a coworker overheard a conversation between me and another colleague taking about cable/streaming shows that we watched or recorded. I mentioned that I recorded a few true-crime shows. My colleague jokingly said, "I hope I'm not on your hit-list!". I replied, "Not anymore." HR pulled me in to say a coworker complained about me talking about hit-lists, and they were now scared. HR wouldn't say who complained, so do I have a right to ask about the resolution to this?

I’m a new analyst at a PE firm, and my associate keeps blaming me for things she does wrong. Like she will tell me I made the wrong change, even though she is the one who changed it.

How can I handle this situation without making her mad but also not letting her step all over me?

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us.

And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?
