Adding to the pile of annoyances with DST - I’m now working at a fully remote company with employees spread across the US and the EU. The switch to DST is not synced between Europe and North America, which cause all types of scheduling havoc. Some meeting times switch, some do not. A totally avoidable mess.
- awillen 5y agoI had this exact thing with Portugal... the time changed something like two weeks apart, and we ended up spending half a day on each end just getting meeting times fixed.
- bellyfullofbac 5y agoYeah, one of the fuckups that the presidency of Dubya left behind. It wasn't like this before 2005! https://newrepublic.com/article/79023/roll-back-the-bush-changes-daylight-saving-time https://newrepublic.com/article/79023/roll-back-the-bush-cha...
- noneeeed 5y agoYep, we've had to shift a weekly meeting for one hour, for just this week as we (UK) have just changed, but SF changes next week. Very annoying.
- Max_aaa 5y agoNow add northern vs southern hemisphere scheduling. When DTS would work backwards and is also out of sync.
- deathanatos 5y agoI work with an office closer to the equator; they don't observe DST ever, as there is no reason for them to do so. So the offset between us changes twice a year. I doubt you'll get the world to agree on no DST, though.
