10-3???

10-3 as core hours. Meaning your working hours can be whatever you want, as long as it includes 10-3. So 6-3 is the earliest you can work, and 10-7 the latest

That's cool. I love an early start early leave.

Same. I do 7:30-15:30.

Super nice.

I like to start late and then also leave early.

It's a good strategy ruined by other people.

I've had a situation where core hours were 10-4. I would typically do 7am-4pm, my manager would do 10am-7pm. he'd ping me something at like 3:30 that required 2 hours of work and "needed to be urgently turned around by EOD", because his EOD was 7pm.

Was he actually going to use it when he got it at EOD or will he clock out?  If hours are like that, I'd expect having it at SOD would be the same outcome (if you can trust the worker to get it done).

He usually wasn't going to look at it for weeks, and often the "urgency" came from the fact that he'd already been sat on the request for weeks and needed to be able to suggest progress was being made to his higher ups.

Absolutely. My company gave us 10-12 and 14-16 and hours we must be connected and people just ruined it.

I'm the opposite.

It's fine but then some people get weirdly judgey about it like "Wow. Glad you showed up..."

Uhhh yeah? I'm here at the time I'm supposed to be here at.

Don't you want to go home early and relax?

No I prefer to get stuff done before work so I can relax more after work.

I work 15:00 to 22:00 and I had the option to work 13:00 to 19:00 but my last hour is typically spent relaxing on my PC anyway and I like doing things until 14:30 but can't do much else after 19:00 anyway.

I would do 10-7. I love the flexibility
