This would be 8 hours- is that ok or would I be at risk of getting terminated? Have to be home to take care of my kids when they come home. I just wish this company would tell us clear what the expectation is.

Gee, I don't know, what did your boss say when you asked them?
This is the d-mbest post ever. Work somewhere else - and don’t think they’re not taking inventory of everybody leaving at 6, 7, 8 etc in the morning. They are.
The hours issue is ridiculous. You don't just make up your hours for what is personally convenient.
But more ridiculous is the caring for a child/children/older relative/whatever. If you need to be home to take care of these things, then you're not really working. Not if it's day in and day out for most of the day each time.
We have id--ts who work 20 minutes a day in the office getting fired and ruining it for the rest of us. We don't need more id--ts working 3 am to 11 am and then babysitting the rest of the work day when everyone else is ready to work with you to ruin it for us.
I mean, I’ve come in at 5:30 am before to use the gym, shiit, shower, and shave and have clocked out around 3 pm on occasion but 3 am to 11 am is high risk unless, of course, you are coming in early to use the toilets because the toilets don’t have ppee on the seats, & remnants in the bowl.
Everybody get this through your thick skulls.....it is not up to you to set your own hours "as long as the work gets done". It doesn't matter if you get twice as much done in half the time. It is STILL NOT YOUR CHOICE. You accept a job from an employer. That employer pays your salary, bonus, benefits. THE EMPLOYER sets the terms of employment. Your choice is completely binary. You either take the job on those terms or you don't. If you don't, you do so at your own risk. So many entitle id--ts who think they are far more valuable than they are.
At least have the guts to be straight up with your employer. Tell them your terms of employment and if the company can accommodate, great. If not, then sc--w all your preening about how much more you get done at home. That is completely immaterial. Do the job you've been given on the terms it was given to you or start your own darn company you entitled, self absorbed little snowflakes.
@aj NO, to avoid spam filters, email providers not send emails at the same time. Not a time zone thing.
Are you really thinking that Indian offshore workers write personalized emails to every employee? It's 2026 buddy.
Do you get your work done? Yes. Then it shouldn’t matter.
I don’t care what hours my team works as long as the job is getting done and our clients are happy.
A happy productive team is better for the company, my employees, and my clients.
3 AM to 11 AM would be a sensible schedule for someone whose team is mainly in India. Of course this schedule makes no sense for an employee with childcare needs.
You should actually be terminated for lack of sense if you do this.
8AM to 8PM are normal working hours for most people going into the office these days in US
If you don't want to do these hours, that's okay. AI will do your job instead. Your choice.
