Does your boss dictate “core hours”. My boss is now implementing core hours of 8-5.

I’ve seen core hours before. But usually it’s like 10-4. Then that way those

Yep. We have 9AM-3PM core hours. Meaning some choose to start at 7AM and are out

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

That sucks, we have tried 9-4 as core hours with flexibility at begin/end

My core hours are like 11-2 EST. I work in Mountain time. It's awesome.

9 hours a day isn't "core"

We all work anywhere from 45-60/ week, depending on the week. Our “clients” are traders, and they leave the office right

8am is crazy. When I’m in office people roll in from 9-10am.

No, because my boss is not a psychopath. My boss has specifically said she does not give a crap

I expect people will get irritated and stop working late.

I think that is what I would do. All my night work would be gone.

You want me to stop working for you 50-60 hours a day? sure i can be here at 8.

Yeah that wouldn’t fly for me. My kid’s school doesn’t start until 9am.

KingDave

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

Belboz

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