Its not always that easy. Enterprise just doesn't work that way. Where multiple timezones come in to play you need to be around.

If I need email comms for an important document regarding to something super tight. I can't just wait till tomorrow.

Information can be crucial at times and emails can cause break down in communications.

Spreadsheets need to be spread and PowerPoints need to be pointed.

Work yes, you can step back from, communication you can't just shut off.

Counterpoint, I work in an international company where teams in Europe often need to liaise with teams in the US. The policy is: if it needs to wait, it waits. If it can't wait, you need to reorganize your teams' responsibilities so that those who are reliant on each other are timezone-aligned.

I'm not a developer nor a manager. The team responsibilities; we are one of the most efficient. Our teams cross over the globe: Hong Kong, China, Japan, America's,

My manager is spot on. The team are fine, it's just the nature of work.

Is there anyone on your team that just isn't around? Keeps a strict schedule - I've found that even working across time zones with tight deadlines, some people just have a hard stop.

Its not the matter of my team.

Its more talking to the VPs of other department's.

If it's that important and you've left it until the night before, you have failed to do your own job properly through inadequate prior planning.

Sure but this is why I don’t work in that field and neither do these people.
