Why don't we have one timezone covering the whole earth? - eviltoast

And instead changing the time work and other things happens depending on where you are. Would be easier to arrange meetings across the globe. Same thing applies to summertime. You may start work earlier if you want, but dont change the clocks!

    It can be, yes, usually people attempt to be accommodating. I have a regular 8 AM meeting to collaborate with foreign colleagues for which it’s a 4 PM meeting. Neither of us are happy about it, but that’s compromise.

    I think a universal timezone would end up exacerbating the issue of some areas deferring to the ideal time of wealthier areas

      I see what you’re saying, about the awareness and consideration of other timezones that is encouraged simply by having individual ones.
