Europeaons and Filipinos would no longer have much real time interaction with me.

9 hour "core" work day implies even more hours are expected. Brutal

I may start work at 7am and then take a break to make a few drives for drop-offs

Core hours should be something like 9:30-4:30 local time where everyone is 100% available.
