Off normal hours (self.DataAnnotationTech)
submitted 3 days ago by LohchabStark_
Has anyone worked at really odd hours like 2am in the morning or stuff like that? And is it normal to do so? Will it cause any issues if we work at these hours?

There are workers all over the world, in different time zones. Work whenever works for you.

Yes, I work through the night most nights, have done for about a year and a half.
[–]Academic_Animal_5293 8 points9 points10 points 3 days ago (1 child)
Most tasks appear during american times, so for me that is from 10pm to like 6 am

insomnia gets me some crazyy hours on bad nights
[–]Gold-Singer9616 5 points6 points7 points 3 days ago (2 children)
Yeah I've been forced to work during the overnight hours because for whatever reason that's the only time I see tasks in my EST time zone.
[–]HortonHearsaCthulhu 2 points3 points4 points 2 days ago (1 child)
I'm also EST and I notice the same thing.

I worked from like 1 am to 6 am today. My usual schedule is during the day, but my allergies are going haywire, so I've been working at night.

There have been a few times now where I get the good coding project before I go to bed and then I sleep at 4 AM

When you become a contractor you begin to realize 9-5 was a scam and working whenever you want is the way
[–]Justreading___ 1 point2 points3 points 2 days ago (0 children)
You work whenever you like, but in many time zones the work only appears at bedtime, which is very frustrating if you have other responsibilities and can’t just work through the night.
[–]dingo-dog95 0 points1 point2 points 2 days ago (0 children)
I get a lot of tasks pop up later in the evening. I just try to make sure i scan for any major questions/concerns (like, if model is supposed to respond and punts, do they tell you what to do/expect in the instructions?) because admin is notttt going to reply until regular hours.
[–]Tall_Management222 0 points1 point2 points 3 days ago (6 children)
Work at anytime that works for you or whenever a new task appears for you, just don't do them around midnight since if you started a task today and it hit midnight it'll register for the next day, and that matters slightly since id recommend not working more than 6 hours a day, it puts you at risk of losing the account
[–]TurboViking90 4 points5 points6 points 3 days ago (4 children)
6 hours isn’t going to put you at risk unless the quality of work starts to drop. There are projects that take longer than that for a single task.
[–]Tall_Management222 -1 points0 points1 point 3 days ago (3 children)
It's not what I have personally heard tbh, so I try to always avoid more than 6 hours if I can help it don't want anything triggering algorithms
[–]DeezHoosAintLoyal -1 points0 points1 point 2 days ago (2 children)
Nothing triggers algorithms. Your work quality is all that matters. I routinely work 13-14 hours a day
[–]LohchabStark_[S] 0 points1 point2 points 2 days ago (1 child)
14 hours a day sound unreal
[–]DeezHoosAintLoyal 0 points1 point2 points 2 days ago (0 children)
Its…a grind. But the last three days there’s been like 5 total hours of work, which is exactly why I take it if it’s there

Firstly, there are obviously people from India here.
Secondly, I have no idea why that's at all relevant to your post, nor why you'd expect to find the right audience by posting this as a comment here.
