At a previous employer, I was in the central time zone. I would ask questions of engineers in California. By the time they arrived for work, I would lose 2-3 hours depending on daylight saving time.
Then, they had to ask their engineers in Japan, losing another day or more. All in all, it could take 2-3+ days to get a simple answer because of this. We were not fond of this because our production plant could not just "wait" for the answer. Therefore, we would continue building product knowing we would have to do some major re-work once the answer arrived. However, we had to keep the lines a'movin'. That's all that mattered. Sorry to diverge...
