Your not, what AP thinks is reasonable would be considered rediculous if you frame it under normal satellite office scenarios. Can you imagine Sydney Googlers all catching the late train into the city to work the night shift. Like come on.

Re stripe limiting to NA only I get their concerns but its a failing approach. They're going to build out remote teams and a bunch of practices that rely on this timezone sync.

Swapping out real-time communication to async communication is going to be much, much harder once those practices are ingrained.

They also need to add more than just engineering into this remote hub. Having all your non engineers in offices is going to create a very odd adversarial culture.
