About half the US lives in the eastern time zone - so if the product manager wants to talk to an Indian programmer at 430PM India time, he has to start the meeting at 730AM Eastern time. This is the most convenient time to have the meeting usually. Another 28% of the US is in the central time zone, but that just shifts this meeting to 830AM for the product manager. The working hours don't overlap. On top of various other problems.
- hilbertseries 4y ago730 am est time is 630 am central time?
- sokoloff 4y ago1630 IST is 0700 EDT right now (and 0600 EST in the winter). It’s just barely workable and takes some give and take on both sides.
- HWR_14 4y agoIs 730 a time when most people want to set a meeting? I certainly wouldn't. And that means the central time zone worker is joining it at 0630 and the west coast worker is joining at 0430
