Why Global Companies Set Meetings in UTC

Subject: Static GK (General Knowledge)

Book: General Time Knowledge

Many globally distributed companies schedule critical events and software release times in UTC, ensuring a consistent reference point for all employees. This practice circumvents confusion from daylight saving changes or half-hour offsets. Employees simply convert UTC to their local time zones, often using digital calendar tools that handle the math automatically. While it may feel unfamiliar for those used to local time references, sticking to UTC fosters clarity and timeliness, particularly in rapidly evolving sectors like finance or tech support.
