huh. Yeah I’ve noticed that with my work. I can technically be flexible with my hours to some extent, but in practice I am expected to always be available during normal business hours, so its hard to justify ever really deviating from that schedule too much, I just end up working more after hours and can’t really detach during 9-5.
I do have one coworker with explicit boundaries that are just like “I don’t work x weekday and I’m off x morning until noon” and it seems to work well for her, but she may have explicitly negotiated that (used to be an independent contractor).
Offering this flexibility is one thing but yeah, keeping it vague and pushing people to work more by aggressive deadline and such are definitely shitty management tactics.y
At least for me, the circadian rhythm thing isn’t as set in stone as I thought (not that I have total control over it but recently it shifted to where I always wake up at 6am, when I used to struggle to get up at 8 or 9)
I mean it seems like there’s a strong chance it burns their house down depending on the type of firework tbqh. if it’s just a firecracker probably not though. In that case the superglue still prevents them from pursuing you and just generally ruins the lock
