My workplace only requires me a few things: to get shit done before deadlines and to be present in company meetings, which usually happen between 9:00 and 12:00. And I also have virtually unlimited holidays, sick leave, etc as I live in Europe. I’d never move to the US to work.

Thursday@lemm.ee 9 months agoI am super jealous. Imagine finishing work and have time to hang out with your friends and family. Living the dream.

Being up that early (for me) means I need to be in bed by 10pm, so home by 9. Most of my friends are not available at 3pm and usually stay out until 10-11. It can lead to feeling very isolated in my experience.
I’m not OP but I worked a 6-3 job for a year or so, gladly swapped it out for a 10-7pm, get to sleep in and stay put late.
But it’s all about preferences and priorities.

I think that the stage of life you’re in would also play a huge part in what hours you’d prefer. When I was single, I’d prefer later hours like you so I could have a more relaxed morning. Now that I’m married with kids, however, an earlier schedule would mean more family time. Especially as school events are often scheduled for the early evening.

Most definitely. Most of my life was external to my home, so having others available at the same time was important. I’d probably feel much the same as you if I had a family.

I’m single and I enjoy the early work because it means I have more time after work to do things with friends (or go to the gym or whatever)

I guess if your friends are available before normal work hours end, it makes sense.
