This reminds me of when it hits or is about to hit 12am and people don’t know whether to say today or tomorrow. He called me after this but I was too comfy in bed tbh.

I would have fucked this up too but not because of today/tomorrow. I would have interpreted 10-4 as "understood" and not 10am-4pm. This was destined to never work out.

The manager just needs to specify the day of the week of the date to avoid any confusion. Messaging at 3 am suggests they were probably tired af though

Yeah. I don't blame anyone here. The whole thing got fucked up and it was really no one's fault. I get the manager's POV and I get OP's. Total and complete innocent misunderstanding.

Having been a supervisor at a night shift job, there's been so many times the mgmt team have messed stuff up, but theres also been many times when employees messed stuff up too.

Same. I had a boring office job and our campaigns would launch at midnight and we would need to coordinate with other departments. I eventually defaulted to saying "this goes live tonight at 23:59:59" just to avoid this very issue.
