Some might. I bet many won't. Good luck doing business with the east coast if your office doesn't open until 11 am pacific.

If you're doing business with the east coast, you probably don't need to be in the office for that.

Bosses beg to differ. Seats aren't going to warm themselves.

The labor market you’d be missing out on by not hiring any parents whatsoever is enormous. They will find a way.

Our company did that for many years, we just scheduled all east coast calls for after 2 pm Eastern. Worked fine.

No they won't. They'll still keep their same schedule, and parents will have to figure out how to deal with it. Some don't have family members that can help, and some enterprising daycares will open up early for school kids to deal with them before school.

Of course, the buses won't run that early, so only well-to-do parents will be able to use those daycares in the first place, leaving poor parents even worse off than they were before.
