I am trying to refer my husband for an engineering role
After referrals, does he need to apply for the role?
I see I can’t refer him if he already applied to the role. How is it done?
I work in engineering 27 F. I start at 5:45 am to catch early meetings.
My team mates are 57M , 64M and 5OM.
We are salaried so no compensation for OT and technically we should be out of office by latest 2:30pm since we will be there by 5:30am
However, they have a tendency of scheduling meetings for 2pm to 2:30 or 3pm and these run till 3:30 because they drag them so much with some unnecessary questions and they make them mandatory.
This has been a trend since I started 5 months ago and its extremely inconvenient because I end up working 10 hr days. They usually schedule these meetings the day of so at 10am you see a meeting notice for 2pm. This happens about 3 times per working week. Our calendars are empty the entire day but for some reason pick the time to go home
How do I politely raise this concern without sounding lazy or having the gen Z stereotypes on me?
I have held other roles at the same company for 3 years so I am somewhat experienced and I know work should not be like that
A little more details, these meetings are called “pre meetings “ where the team would love to discuss what to discuss in the next meeting the following day. So of a meeting is set up, they create another pre meeting to prepare for that meeting that they set up - which sounds very unnecessary and we never come up with a plan in that meeting or a good conclusion too - we always end up with, “ we will circle beck on it or lets add to the parking lot” - very pointless
