All you people living in the US complaining about DST thinking only you have a problem with it.
Well, guess what, you wouldn't have imagined a tiny fraction of people on the other end of the world too have a problem with it.
When DST is in effect, engineers supporting US from India work from 5:30pm to 2:30am. When DST ends in November the guys have to work from 6:30pm to 3:30am. And this is just for east coast. Granted it is just one hour. But it does make a lot of difference when the travel back to home takes 1hr and by the time you are trying to fall asleep, the Sun is shining bright outside the window.
And I have worked in this manner for 5 continuous years in continuous night shifts until I shifted recently to one of the (very few) companies who have day shift jobs in my area of specialization and simultaneously not having a shitty pay. I used to hate going to office between November to March, no matter how much I did like my job and the technology. And so I used to treasure those work-from-home days.
Edit: Added formatting, correct error and added some context.
