The most famous example is probably Gitlab (https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/company/culture/all-remote/asynchronous/)
Since their IPO the work environment seems to have deteriorated though (https://old.reddit.com/r/devops/comments/152o4bb/what_the_hell_is_going_on_at_gitlab/)
Curious to see if other people have any experience of real asynchronous work culture?
Yeah, our company likes to outsource stuff to India. The workers they hire there are deliberately underpaid and undertrained for what’s being asked of them, so that already makes communication difficult.
But the real problem is often rather the different time zones. You can practically only schedule a call with them in the late afternoon, when they’ll have all their other meetings, too.
This is so problematic, that parts of the company now also like to hire underpaid, undertrained workers in a different country, which happens to be in the same time zone as we are.
