Lol, that is pretty much one of my past employers. They set a daily stand up everyday at 9:30am, so flexible time means I can arrive anytime before that..
One day I missed a stand-up because my wife was pregnant at the time and I wanted see our first baby MRI. The CTO sent me a nasty slack message in the company phone (which they claimed as a benefit “we give you state of art iphones!!”)
Also, there was catered lunch, which I sort of dislike and went out for lunch by myself sometimes. It was also frown upon, they want me to be in the office for the working hours.
I didn’t last long. In my subsequent job I made sure to pick just for the flexible hours since compensation in Europe, well st least where I am, doesn’t vary enourmously across companies.
- ChuckNorris89 7y agoWhere exactly in Europe do you live that catered lunches are a thing yes bosses are so horrible, if you don't mind me asking?
- retiredcoder 7y agoDenmark, but that’s another discussion around lunch in the office. I personally don’t take it as a benefit.
