    If you got rid of timezones, you’d still end up creating it in all but name since the vast majority of business will be occurring during daytime hours around the world. For example, an office in Tokyo sending emails to their NYC office at 0800 UTC (currently 0400 EDT in NYC) wouldn’t end up getting answered for at least 3-4 hours when those employees started logging in. In other words, people would still be doing calculations in their heads to know when business hours are in that region, essentially recreating timezones.

    Not necessarily. In Teams, it shows the user’s specific hours they work as well as the time difference (this person is 2 hours behind you). All it would need is to remove the time difference and just display the time they work.

    A person in Japan would just put in their signature or it would be in the application that they work from 0400 to 1200 while you still work 0800 to 1600 and you’d have your answer.






  • They should have included gyms as part of this.

    I will never sign up with Planet Fitness ever again.

    The law should be that however you can sign up should be how you can cancel. If you can sign up online or at any gym and use any other gym, then you should be able to cancel online or at any gym.

    PF told me I had to go to the PF I joined up at. Doesn’t matter that I moved 70 miles away. The only exception is to send a specific letter in a specific way to that location and then you’ll supposedly get it canceled.

    Fuck companies that do that. You make plenty off people forgetting they have a membership. Least you can do is let the smart ones off when they ask politely.
