minus-squarenogooduser@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·11 months agoI think that it’s harder to all be in the same time zone. You then have to remember each zone’s working hours instead of the offset from your time. I don’t see how it’s easier to get rid of time zones.
minus-squareHawk@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·11 months agoYeah, when someone now says I get up at 05:00, we all know that’s early. Getting rid of time zones would remove a lot of context to conversations. If someone is getting up at 16:00, the others in the conversation would have no idea if that’s late or early, same goes for working hours.
