Re:Remote work will break the US monopoly on global talent by guidovranken on Tuesday November 09, 2021 @07:32AM (#29160850)
With regards to timezones, there are a bunch of software companies which are completely remote and global which operate fine. If employees have a fair amount of autonomy and/or work with their local teams, and have sync calls during mutually suitable time slots, there is no real impediment to operating a functional company.

The "flexible" approach does work, but tends to be quite a drain on workers lives. Theres always someone somewhere who has to wake up at 2am for the weekly 'sync' meeting, or who doesn't see their children after school because their calendar is clogged with 1:1 meetings with all their USA reports most evenings.
