"You should accept your employees for who they are and optimize for their abilities. I am a night owl, always have been, always will be. I am done trying to work in the mornings—it is a waste of time as I am not effective and make more mistakes when I try to work at this time."

Totally agree with how crap open plan is. I've never worked in a cubicle, but they never sounded that bad to me. At least you get your own small slice of semi-private space in a cube, I imagine.

I become a productivity machine in the evening/night! I think my dream job would be to have an employer enlightened enough to take advantage of that and let me work the weird hours my body likes. I know that will never, never happen.

Technically, we have an 'availability policy'-- so long as we're responsive between 9:30 and 4:30 and attend meetings as-needed, there's no concrete attendance policy. It seems to work pretty well for us.
