One of these days they will "wake up" to the fact it would help them with sales if they got on others' schedules.

There are entire call centers in India whose employees work 8 to 8 US Eastern Time. That's just their schedule, day in and day out. The employers even pay cabs or vans to take them home at 5 AM their time.

its funny because I used to get it the other way around a long time ago when I did a lot of business with the states when I was a tour manager and promoter. They used to be waiting for me to get in.

It sucks this way round. To be fair though most of my chinese suppliers stay in until well late so we get a bit done between 9am and 1pm our time.
