Not sure why but lunch/hours chat makes me think I'm not compatible with my team. (Four paragraph write-up omitted, started off with...) I like to code so I show up early.

Keetron posted:7:30~8:00 is my preferred start time. I'm also a 7-3 person. Partly because the first couple of hours of the day are by far my most productive, since the office isn't full of chatter yet, but also because getting out in the afternoon makes it almost feel like you have time to do personal things in the evening.

Mornings are great since you can just sit and get poo poo done before people start crowding up the office floor with post-lunch socialization.

8-4 100%, especially at my current place of work where people tend to roll in around 10-1030 get a lot of poo poo

I start at 9. I'd prefer to start at 10 but 9 is the start of the "core hours" we are expected to be working here. On the plus side this means that unlike at my last employer no one tries to schedule things to start at 8.

At my last place there was a guy who would come in before 5 (AM). Most everyone left between 2-3. I came in at like 10-1030 and had the office to myself for 3-4 hours every afternoon it was loving great.

Being awake at all before 10:00 is self-abuse.

Bongo Bill posted:Being awake at all before 10:00 is self-abuse. Me at 27 would have agreed. At 37, I find myself waking up earlier. Even on weekends I'm awake by 9 am most of the time. If I sleep until 10, I feel like I wasted a bunch of the day. Of course, I'm also tired at 11 pm and the thought of staying out/up past 1 or 2 am is awful. I will never pull an all-nighter again, and I'm totally fine with that. I also don't understand the music younger people listen to and have chronic back pain. Getting old is great, isn't it? Basically I would expect younger people to show up later and older people to show up earlier.

One of our remote workers is on the west coast and maintains an east-coast 9-4 schedule to keep up with the rest of the office. She's also got a kindergarten-age kid that she packs up in the morning, etc. It's loving nuts that's managed to keep it going for so long. She says she likes it because she ends up with afternoon, no-kid free time. Still feel guilty when I message he early and Slack tells me "It's 5:15AM for XXXX".

I’ve been an old man since 16 with a back injury so I had a long head start on the physical therapy, sedentary lifestyle, and seasonal back pain that awaits me in my later years. Whether my life pattern is like Benjamin Button and I regress to listening to nu metal, busting along to No Limit rappers, and breaking out Jnco jeans at my retirement party is unknown

Yeah, traditionally your commute to your office isn't covered by most companies (it's a plus perk if they do). But if you do travel to other offices, you could get travel expense reimbursement. I was fortunate enough when I was consulting to live ~2 miles from my company's office, and the rule is (or was) that any additional mileage you incur by going to a different location, you could expense. So when I had clients who were 10-15 miles away, I was definitely booking the 100+ extra miles a week.

The Fool posted:I suspect most employers don't cover travel expenses for an employees regular commute. It is very very unusual in my country for companies to not cover travel expenses. They can pay € 0.19 per km or all the costs for public transport tax-free and most companies do. If a company would refuse to do so they'd probably have to shut down because nobody would want to work for them anymore. Is this yet another thing USA is being stupid about?

Pretty much. Most places in the US don't have robust public transportation and people just drive their own cars to and from work, as a result the company feels no obligation to provide any assistance. The places that do provide transportation assistance do it as a perk as mentioned above and are in the larger cities where train/bus/subway commutes are much more common.

I think people driving company cars don't get that perk, instead they get a company credit card to buy fuel or something. But I'm not certain, I never had one. I'm just getting annoyed by daily traffic jams so I'm looking for an apartment closer to work. If I find something I'll prob get a one-time bonus to cover the costs I have moving my stuff.

My new office is two miles from my house and a straight shot on the bus. My total commute time is a bit under twenty minutes, and than includes time spent waiting for the bus and walking to and from bus stops. It’s an improvement over the commute at my last job, which was a bit farther away and involved either one bus and lots of walking or two busses. I am definitely spoiled. I’d get recruiters on LinkedIn telling me about some amazing tech job opportunity, and then it turns out that the company is way out in some suburban office park that is not served by public transit. Nope. Vulture Culture posted:I'm just grateful that with my 2-hour commute each way I can start from the train and have those hours mean something  I mean, at least it’s passive and you can get stuff done during that time, but still, that’s a huge chunk out of the day.

Some employers get subsidies from their local area governments to back public transportation use. I know DC does sometimes and is a very popular benefit for local area companies within the beltway but once you go outside Metro is in another state you would think.
