Have been working remotely for a startup in US for some time. A lot of my meetings happen in the evenings. Didn’t mind it in the lockdown, as I could build my routine around it. As the lockdown as opened up a bit, I have started making plans with my friends to hang, go out, etc. But, it seems to be conflicting a lot with my meetings & work timings. Am I the only one in this boat? 😄

Time to find new friends😅 Not sure about weekdays but for weekends you can inform them and ask to move meeting on Monday or Thursday.

Friday nights are standup meetings for me. Tell me about it 😢 It was all fine till it was all shut though.

haha, same bro. So ykwim

Sitting through the weekly syncup right now 🤧

I think communication is key. You could set expectations that you are available for only first 2-3 hours of there day for meetings. I have mostly blocked out my Friday evening and I don’t take meetings unless really important. People in US would typically understand this I guess, at least ones I’ve worked with. Also depends on the timezone, eastern is still doable but pacific could hurt.

Yeah, I will bring this up in this week’s retrospective.
