Americans are bad at geography but shit are people from the east Coast some of the worst. They have “center of the universe syndrome” and have no idea about the rest of the country. I was looking to relocate to the East Coast about 10 years ago and had 3 interviews with different companies in NY, DC and PHL where the company failed to call me at the correct time, sometimes multiple instances, as they couldn’t understand the time difference.
Doesn’t everyone fucking learn about the 4 continental time zones in school? Why is it confusing?
Wait. So you knew you were applying to companies on ET, they said they wanted to set up an interview at some arbitrary time without specifying a time zone, and you just rolled with the assumption that it was PT instead of asking to clarify? That kind of feels like it’s on you. If I was living in ET, I applied to a job with a company located in SF, and I missed the interview bc I assumed it was ET instead of PT that would totally be on me.
No, we agreed on PT. They just didn’t know what the time difference was and couldn’t be bothered to look it up. I finally just started scheduling in ET and then realized I didn’t want to work with people who couldn’t count to 4 and decided not to relocate.
