I really wish corporations/society were more understanding that you cannot make someone into a "morning person".
"We want you here first thing in the morning!"
No, you don't. I'll be grumpy, mean, slow, and disinterested in the aesthetics you want me to reinforce.
I'm a programmer, not a barista. Either you don't need me at 6 AM, or you need to pay me overtime because if you NEED me something is very wrong.
@TheZeldaZone So a little secret that might help:
The people who expect these things of you are doing them to make themselves feel better. Their reasonings are made up nonsense, but they're probably unaware of this fact. They are more comfortable if they see you there "hard at work" for them.
So in fact THAT is what you are being paid for. You see?
This isn't a malicious compliance thing. This is a recognition of what your employer actually needs from you. What their priorities are.
