I like all of the offshore colleagues I’ve had the chance to work with. In India, Europe, and LatAm…but this time zone juggling thing is not sustainable for any of us. 5-6AM calls followed by 11PM calls (both in the same day) are inhumane long term. Either the work needs to be done onshore with teams situated in similar time zones or move it all offshore. But creating long-term hybrid teams where you have contributing leaders on both sides of the ocean needs to be resolved somehow.

What do you think is more inhumane:

The above or mandating being in the office?

I’ll take 6AM and 11PM calls all day over a 1 hour commute and wearing uncomfortable clothes.

I really don’t think being in the office a few days a week is inhumane. In some ways, long-term remote work, isolated in your home-office set up without any other socialization is inhumane. For centuries people went to work in a physical place and it was never inhumane. Why now? Traffic?

And trying to schedule these meetings is next to impossible.

I work with these time zones too, but will only do 8AM calls with IST, no earlier or later (I’m in EDT/EST). Do you really have to meet this often?

Consulting is such a joke sometimes. Push back or get out.

I’ve been dealing with offshoring for almost 25 years. While it might not be sustainable for individuals, it is not going away. When you have had enough, another person will jump in to take your place. We’re all just bodies to be thrown at problems.

Why do leaders keep comparing how “good”the new staff/seniors have it because they make more money starting out then they did and working 55 hours is better than the 70-80 hours they used to work? Instead they should compare what options they have available to them and what their goals are.
