I bitterly recall team meetings at 5:30 pm at a former job.

Yeah lol used to have calls and presentations at like 10:30pm a couple of workplaces ago it was cray. Nowadays I stare people down if they set 9am or 4:30pm meetings

I remember international meetings at 1:00 am in the morning in one particular role.

I can't imagine going back to that shit again. I've always envied people who can just do work at odd hours, sleep at the drop of a hat, and not have a routine.

Oh look not everyday's like this exactly so it's certainly a treat. It's also kinda like a result of a dysfunctional workplace in this case so not sure if it's a good thing....

My last job ran until 6pm which was a major deciding factor in me quitting.
