Can't think of a worse place to work.

Forcing people to do a 9-5 in a city centre is nuts - it just increases the commute time by at least an hour a day due to traffic..

As I said flexibility seems to be the norm now, often with core hours say 10-4 or 11-3. Good for commuting, good for working parents, good for morale for people to feel they're cared about.

Although if you're working with people in other countries it gets more tricky.

Yes indeed - however when jobsworth middle management tit decides he likes to work 9-5 and therefore everyone should it falls apart...

surprises me people like that still exist mind you.

Current client co is a joy on that front.
Very big on flexible working, so lots of the permies do compressed weeks.

Remote working is encouraged up to 2 days a week for everyone, contractors included, after an initial period.

Never seen anyone give a toss about hours.

A couple of permie guys in the team start at 7am most days to beat traffic at either end.
Another rolls in at 10am every day.

Sounds excellent to me. Well, not bad. If I was in charge I would make it 9.06 and 25.0348965 seconds.

Did that in my last ever permie job, it was agreed with the manager at the interview. A few months later a director said I had to do 9-5. After a few weeks of spending 5 or more hours a day in traffic I chucked it in.
