How This Pair Actually Operates

Bucharest and Medellin can still meet live, but one side will usually take the early-start or late-finish hit.

Keep live meetings short, rotate recurring pain intentionally, and move detail-heavy work into documented async follow-up.

Operating mode
Rotate the burden

This pair still supports live work, but the useful band is narrow enough that calendars should be built around the overlap instead of hoping ad hoc slots remain usable.

Meeting cadence
Recurring rule

Rotate recurring meeting pain across quarters so one city does not absorb every early or late call.

Lunch and workweek pressure

Workweek guidance is limited for this pair, so keep local operating calendars visible.

DST watch

Rotating recurring forums
