Time zone is gonna be tougher. Going from sync to async requires a big shift and most big companies have enough trouble with communication.
One other benefit to companies - maybe they won’t pay a premium anymore for people who live in expensive areas.
- moneil971 6y agoTwitter and other global companies have been managing the time zone factor and using online chat, video calls, etc. for some time now.
- novok 6y agoIt turns into early hour / late hour meetings that your dread and don't want to do. I bet as a result people silently start not working with those big time zone difference teams and it become bifurcated.
- reaperducer 6y agoIf the time zone difference is San Francisco to London, sure. But I've lived in Pacific while working for a company in Central, and live in Eastern while working for a company in Pacific, and it's not a big deal. You just adjust your daily cycle by a couple of hours. Domestically, it only gets complicated when you have an entire office of people in a different zone. Then large meetings get hard to schedule around lunch and COB.
