I manage a team that has a brief meeting scheduled every day for the same time. My boss is invited to this meeting and is a valuable participant.

However, my boss is in another country and the recent daylight savings time change has put the meeting at an inconvenient time for him. He wants to move the meeting so the time stays consistent for him, despite there being 5 other people in the meeting who are unaffected.

Am I wrong to thing this is unfair and sends the wrong signals to my team? How should I approach this with my boss?

Clarifications:

  • This is a temporary change
  • The meeting is currently first thing in the morning, to setup the day. The new time would position the meeting more in the middle of the day. I think it would be more disruptive this way.
  • The boss is not an essential member of the meeting, more of an observer.
