<p><pre><code>    I don&#x27;t see why narcolepsy should be a problem, especially in our area. I mean sure, meetings and stuff like that might be harder to do, but our industry is&#x2F;should be lenient to things like office hours.

I blame scrum. Or, more specifically, people who drink the cool-aid and don&#x27;t understand the actual purpose.<p>I&#x27;ve interviewed at I-don&#x27;t-even-remember-how-many companies that claim to offer extremely flexible hours, or don&#x27;t care about telecommuting, just make sure you deliver... until you tell them that you can&#x27;t promise to be there for the daily stand-up at 9am. This is typically justified by &quot;it&#x27;s only one meeting a day!&quot;, but if that one meeting is in the middle of the night for you because you work in a different time zone, or you can&#x27;t make it in till 10 because you&#x27;ve got kids to take care of, etc., etc.... that doesn&#x27;t really seem so reasonable anymore.
