Indeed, we are on a different time zone!

Goodness, what time is it? As Mr. Takamura Yama looked at the clock, he felt relieved that it is only 4 p.m. and that he can still send a document to his team member in Delhi—Mr. Pravant Prabu, a senior engineer in Panasonic. Yet, the documents will not be read by their team member in Chicago as he is fast asleep. Perhaps, Mr. David Samuel will reply tomorrow once he reads it. But, all the team members need to agree on the proposal and send confirmation by 10 a.m. the next day. Mr. Takamura feels so anxious that they might not make it to the 9 a.m. deadline since he needs to send it to his Tokyo headquarters. As he sighed, he thought, “How could this happen?” and instantly felt frustrated for not incorporating the difference in time zone when planning his work.
