But I'm always late. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-meeting-at-7am-is-that-too-early-for-you/page/2#post-1024904 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 16:31:22 +0000 Purpledaisy 1024904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wayyy to early! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-meeting-at-7am-is-that-too-early-for-you/page/2#post-1024058 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 12:43:46 +0000 Modern Daisy 1024058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get really annoyed when meetings or training sessions are held before 9:30am. In NYC people tend to start and end the work day much later so this isn't usually a problem. But there is a sales instructor based out of our Hartford office and I have attended 3 of her training sessions now and all of them started at 8am. I like her a lot but I left negative feedback on the survey each time about the early start time! Especially if I have to be away from my desk all day, I need to have some time to check email and get situated first and 8am is just too early for that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-meeting-at-7am-is-that-too-early-for-you/page/2#post-1024044 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 12:40:49 +0000 MrsH 1024044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8 am is early enough. I don't like meetings on Mondays though always feels like such a drag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-meeting-at-7am-is-that-too-early-for-you/page/2#post-1024034 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 12:39:04 +0000 swurlygurl 1024034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd prefer it if I got to leave early! Generally, 8 am is the best starting time for meetings.</p> <p>Although, a 7 am meeting is MUCH better than a 4 pm or 5 pm meeting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-meeting-at-7am-is-that-too-early-for-you#post-1024027 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 12:38:00 +0000 indi 1024027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes! I'd prefer to go in at 9:00 am and stay for a 6:30 or 7:00pm meeting. Not an early bird. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-meeting-at-7am-is-that-too-early-for-you#post-1024012 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 12:34:35 +0000 banana 1024012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG too early. I'm not an early bird at all! I love starting work at 9 or 9:30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-meeting-at-7am-is-that-too-early-for-you#post-1024009 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 12:33:49 +0000 looch 1024009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could do it, but knowing my luck, I'd be running late that day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-meeting-at-7am-is-that-too-early-for-you#post-1023998 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 12:31:18 +0000 AmandaB8 1023998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm at work starting my day at 5:30 am! I never see the light of day before work ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-meeting-at-7am-is-that-too-early-for-you#post-1023952 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 12:14:11 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 1023952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm usually in at 7:45, but we have a weekly meeting that starts at 6:45. It's torturous and way too early. I loathe them (luckily my husband drops off the baby those days, because daycare isn't open until 6:30!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-meeting-at-7am-is-that-too-early-for-you#post-1023949 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 12:12:36 +0000 BSB 1023949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: No, it's a quick meeting with a construction contractor, like probably 15 minutes tops. I think in construction they usually work earlier. I'm going to push back on them. It's kinda ridiculous considering it's a quick meeting. It's probably going to be a $5k job, so I would think they can meet me later. It's just crazy that they thought 7am is normal request for them. </p> <p>I told them that I was available at anytime that day and they came back and told me they could do 7am. I'm thinking... no! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-meeting-at-7am-is-that-too-early-for-you#post-1023874 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 11:42:51 +0000 PurplePumps 1023874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Waaaay to early. I try to get in at 8, but most the time it ends up being 9. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-meeting-at-7am-is-that-too-early-for-you#post-1023870 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 11:41:36 +0000 littlek 1023870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: That's early. Is a foreign location involved? I know DH had weird times for meetings based on who it is with. When DH has meetings with the London office they are always early. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-meeting-at-7am-is-that-too-early-for-you#post-1023862 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 11:39:49 +0000 blackbird 1023862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only b/c daycare doesn't open until 7am. I blocked off my 6-730am time slot. </p> <p>I do have a weekly meeting at 7:30, no big deal, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-meeting-at-7am-is-that-too-early-for-you#post-1023851 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 11:37:15 +0000 gilmoregirl 1023851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish it was too early! But I teach high school, so 7 am is pretty normal for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-meeting-at-7am-is-that-too-early-for-you#post-1023848 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 11:37:01 +0000 Alivoo01 1023848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Way too early for me! I think meetings should never start earlier than 9am and never start after 4pm! On Fridays, no meetings should start after noon. It's Friday guys!! Come on now! LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-meeting-at-7am-is-that-too-early-for-you#post-1023833 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 11:33:03 +0000 MrsBrewer 1023833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Woah 7am is way too early! That would never fly around here! I think the earliest would be 9am in my department. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-meeting-at-7am-is-that-too-early-for-you#post-1023816 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 11:25:35 +0000 MamaMoose 1023816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get to work at 7:30am everyday and I'm good to go as soon as I arrive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-meeting-at-7am-is-that-too-early-for-you#post-1023758 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 11:04:24 +0000 googly-eyes 1023758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pre-baby I would have been ok with it. I once had to foot a staff meeting at 5 or 530am, when the overnight shift got off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-meeting-at-7am-is-that-too-early-for-you#post-1023712 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 10:46:25 +0000 deactivated_account 1023712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is way too early! But I'm often out my door by 5:55 am for work so.... But at least I'm not having to interact with people at that time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-meeting-at-7am-is-that-too-early-for-you#post-1023695 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 10:41:28 +0000 sunny 1023695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not even awake yet so way too early! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-meeting-at-7am-is-that-too-early-for-you#post-1023670 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 10:33:48 +0000 Mrsbells 1023670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Way too early! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-meeting-at-7am-is-that-too-early-for-you#post-1023663 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 10:30:52 +0000 PurplePeony 1023663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Generally, too early. Every once in awhile, we have teleconferences with people in other time zones and have to schedule them really early, but when that happens I can call in from home.

I'm usually in by 6:45 so that would give me 15 minutes to get settled, check my email, and make a cup of tea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-meeting-at-7am-is-that-too-early-for-you#post-1023623 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 10:13:40 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1023623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have monthly staff meetings and they're at 7am. It's not so bad since it's so infrequently... but they recently transferred me to a new dept so the staff meeting is now in the afternoons... on a day I don't work :-P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-meeting-at-7am-is-that-too-early-for-you#post-1023618 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 10:10:27 +0000 cascademom 1023618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: Ahh, for a couple of years, I had a phone call with callers from Sweden, Germany, and France.

Especially on a Monday or Friday! haha </p>
