As a more problem-specific solution, I'm an advocate for any team/company/etc. with employees in more than one timezone standardizing on UTC for everything. We do it with servers and it works pretty well.
It seems the status quo for remote companies is to standardize on whatever timezone the top-most boss is in. Doesn't seem optimal.
- pbalau 5y agoApart Facebook, Facebook does PST...
- tobyjsullivan 5y agoAs does Google. I'm curious if either engineering team would make the same choice today.
- galkk 5y agoThere is a meme on my current job. We support multiple timezones. PST and PDT.
- ww520 5y agoNot UTC-7? Or UTC-8?
- kevin_thibedeau 5y agoUTC-7 is widely regarded as a mistake.
- mech422 5y agoLiving in PHX, I personally love it... so nice not to ever have to worry about changing time/clocks.
- alistairSH 5y agoHow does using UTC help? You still have to remember the time-offset between EU and USA and India to make sure your meeting is during somebody else's dinnertime (or worse).
- eikenberry 5y agoIt doesn't help with that but neither do timezones. When I communicate to people internationally I'll need to know their daytime hours in terms of my timezone anyways, so why not know them in terms of UTC? Then everyone can start on the same page.
