Why remote US? Isn't it fully remote company now?
- BlackjackCF 6y agoProbably due to time zone
- pluc 6y agoContrary to what Americans think, timezones are not exclusively an American thing, every country has them, and crazily, the entire continent (because the US is actually part of America, they are not all of it) shares them.
- 7thaccount 6y agoNobody said that. They probably keep it in the US, so most of their employees are working at the same time and u don't have someone working when the rest of your team is sleeping.
- foldr 6y agoI think the parent's point is that Canada, Mexico, Central America and parts of South America all have time zones close to (or identical to) PDT. So there are large populations that are no more than three hours away from PDT.
- 7thaccount 6y agoAh, that makes more sense. Wonder if they'd make an exception.
- bonestamp2 6y agoMaybe it's related to overhead (benefits, contract law, payroll, taxes, etc). Speaking from experience, all that stuff becomes more complicated when you're doing it cross-border.
