I am interviewing for this perm job in London and when I hinted to this agent about wanting to start at 9.30 or 10 AM, it was met with utter surprise: HOW DARE YOU CHALLENGE THE 9-5 SLAVE ROUTINE!. No work from home either and this is a mid/senior level dev job. The perm mindset is so hierarchic it is sickening.

Turn down the role stating clearly why, and interview elsewhere if flexiblity is important to you."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JR -
Turn up on time, when manager meets you ask if you can use the loo
Go to the loo, but sneak out of the building and leave them wondering where you areComment

I tend not to take much notice of what the agent thinks the working arrangements are. I would do the interview and, if it's going well, you raise the question about working hours flexibility. If the interviewing manager/HR drone balks then you know it's not going to work for you.Comment
