Yeah, I don't know. I work on a team where there are 1 or 2 people who can't ever be gotten ahold of because they're never in the office during normal hours. Our stand-up starts at 11:50AM, and they can't get to it on time. We have some people who commute from far away and leave earlier than standard to avoid traffic and be able to spend time with family. There has to be some time where they can find each other and talk. What's the solution? IF we can't all be there for at least 1 hour a day, how can we reasonably interact? I'm all for flexible schedules, but "come in and leave whenever you like" doesn't work in reality. People sometimes need to interact live with each other, even if it's via chat.
