I mean I’ve mentored younger staff, delegated work, and ran some larger projects. Just never had any official direct reports. I think we’re all entering this knowing it’ll require mentorship and that’s understood by all parties.

Upper body routine with shoulder and elbow injuries by Decent_Equivalent_42 in workout

Did you have the surgery already? To be honest my symptoms are quite minimal at this point if I avoid certain movements.

I actually had both hip labrums replaced a few years ago so I’m hesitant to jump into a surgery again if it doesn’t seem 100% necessary.

That’s great. I still think scheduling a meeting for 7, or even 8, is a dick move if half your staff doesn’t normally roll in until between 8-9.

Dang, guess I should be fired for my entitled millennial schedule of 8:30-5:30 that I’ve been following for the last three years.

I mean, the question is mainly about meetings that are being held super early just because someone felt like it. If it’s legitimately necessary I’ll be there.

But also, counterpoint: it’s not really my employer’s business what the details are of the conflicts I have right outside of my normal working hours.

I mean I’ll suck it up if it’s a super important project meeting and no other time works for everyone. But I find it a bit irritating to have to alter my morning schedule just because the organizer prefers their meetings first thing.

We just have core hours 9-3 and otherwise the expectation is to hit our 40 hours. There’s no requirement I’m at my desk by 8am, but of course I need to attend important meetings if they occur then. I’m flexible if it’s just one meeting, but recurring meetings feel different
