Serious question: In other parts of the country or world, do "companies" all open at the same time? They certainly do not, anywhere I've ever lived. If that is the case, that must be an interesting lifestyle. How does anyone get anything done if there's never a non-overlapping interval of "the bank is open but my employer is closed" type of problem?
I've also lived almost all my life in a "recreational paradise" state far from the coasts where its totally normal for there to be at least one, often many, "in-season" work hours vs "out-season" work hour thru the year. Much like agonizing over average temperatures is heard but isn't an issue, its not a problem for the millions who live around here.

- hrktb 8y agoIn my experience smaller companies tend to adjust to the rhythm of their biggest clients. If one of the behemoth decides to start working at 11am -> 9pm, a lot of contractors and related services will move to the same time tables.

This is a fairly big problem in modern life, as far as I can see. Traditionally, I assume what happened was that you worked at your employer, and your wife went to the bank.
