Hello, I started a new wfh job recently (salaried), and there is an optional daily meeting scheduled for 8am (6am in my timezone). It just seems to be going over what we are currently working on, and small talk. Most of the team seems to attend these. My official hours are 9am - 5pm, so it is scheduled before I technically start. I am wondering if I should ask my manager to shift my schedule or not attend them. On one hand, this seems like a good meeting to communicate with the team, and I am afraid I won't be seen as a team player if I don't attend. On the other hand, 8 (6am in my time) is a little early for me and I am not sure how I will do waking up early enough for this. Should I just attend the meetings anyway? Ask for a schedule change? Or just don't attend and start at 9am?
