Thats how many jobs already are. Jobs ending at 2pm in California because the majority of their market is already gone for the day. There is nothing chaotic about it at all. They are just numbers. We are open from 9-17. Hours posted, that's when they are open. In New York when someone asks what time they are open the answer is 9-17, in Japan, it's 9-17. No matter where you are in the world, look at your watch/clock/phone I should be able to say huh, it's 11, they are open.. I'll give them a call. 0 chaos. No asking what time zone, no asking if it's 11am or pm, just 9-17. Always the same for anyone who wants to do business with that business.
Sidenote, think about how much cooler new years would be. Everyone on the planet moving to a new year at the same time. Not, well Terry is in Texas so it won't be for another hour there.
It's not just numbers: there's an even more significant factor: insolation. It would be much more uneven for different places and sunlight affects our psychic and physiology.
The amount of sun is not dictated by what time we arbitrarily call it. People's scheduled times for work would vary based on location, so someone in CA who currently works 9-5 would would work like 17-3. Which would be the same as the sun coverage locally is concerned.
If companies actually are about such things then since the sun goes down at at 4:36 where I live, also the majority of people work inside. So a a healthier schedule would be getting off work at 12, and going to bed at 5:30pm (17:30).
That extends the most amount of hours you spend awake and not sitting inside working, to daylight. So your workday should start around 3 it will be light outside when you take lunch at 7, and you get off at 12. So you have full access to the best psychic and physiology right? Sun sets at 4:30, and your in bed by 5:30.
Somehow I don't think that's what people want though.
I personally don't care for it much, but I am usually more awake during the night anyways.
My start times this week were; 6:30, 3:30, 6, 6, 5:30. Most would think that's to early, especially when you have to drive 50 miles to work. So I leave at 2:30am on Tuesdays, lol.
Every job is different
