I swear there are people in the US who still have no concept of timezones.
"SG sounds cool!
Would you like to a Zoom call between 1-4pm EST"
(that's 1am-4am SGT - I guess we're not expected to sleep in this part of the world)
@SherryYanJiang
Honestly I find the same issue over here in the US. With most of what’s hot coming out of Singapore rn, I’m constantly taking calls between 10pm and 3 AM. Sometimes if the call is worth the lack of sleep (I find it almost always is) I’ll agree anyway. Time zones are difficult.
@SherryYanJiang
It's nice they mention est. My favorites are clowns that think the world runs on their time zone and don't bother clarifying where they are talking about.
@SherryYanJiang
I always politely explain and then propose something mutually inconvenient. Most people are decent and will make it work. If they don’t it’s a good filtering mechanism and you can skip working with them.
@SherryYanJiang
So rough! 2-4pm EST yea let's not sleep to attend a AMA or some community event and then continue into the morning with a cuppa to stay awake.
