I feel that this is what we should be using instead of the current illogical time system.

    Again, how is remembering whatever the New York offset is from your own work hours any different than remembering their time zone? If you have a remote coworker in a different time zone do you not already think things like “they’re not at their desk until 10 so I can’t schedule anything with them before that”?

    The inconvenience you’re describing already exists and doesn’t change, you’re just used to the current specifics.

      I collaborated with folks for many years in far eastern Russia - the only hard part was tracking DST and adjusting standing scheduled meetings accordingly.

      Holidays that weren’t shared were much more of a pain to deal with than the time difference.
