For example, if a coworker is on the central timzeone, I want to schedule a meeting with them, Would you say: Can we meet 11 am PT (which is my time) Or can we meet 1 pm CT (which is their time) Have a new hire on my team I am helping onboard - I somehow felt it’s a little rude when they always use their local time (MT) and I have to look it up to make sure. PS: this is slack message not calendar invite
You answered your own Q. It depends on who owes who a favor
That’s the part I felt buggy.... obviously I am helping them and they didn’t even care to convert the time zone for my convenience
This is one of the pettiest things I’ve read on Blind, wow.
I always use their time zone when msging. It's not that hard to remember for me
Is there any place with a lot of employees? My company used to have a lot of people in Boston so we will usually say let’s talk at 9am boston time and then people are so used to converting from their time to boston time.
Real men use epoch 1665030958
They use BJ time here pretty often. I was pretty shocked to know it stands for Beijing time. Time zone differences make my life miserable.
Some might consider that a great work perk
Just say, "your time 1pm"
Don’t use slack for that. Send an invite based on their calendar availability. Done.
I typically include both and will say “1pm PST/ 3pm CST”
depends on pp size big pp: your tz but don’t say the tz small pp with envy: your tz, say the tz small pp: their tz
