My company has flex time, with core hours of 12PM-5PM EST / 9AM-2PM PST, the overlap of 9 to 5 coast to coast. For East Coasters, it means you can’t really come in early to leave early; meetings may run to the end of your workday. For West Coasters, it’s the opposite, you can’t come in late and stay late, and meetings can start as soon as you clock in. For this aspect, I think the happy medium is in CST or MST.

I once had an office job at a teapot factory with locations in pacific, central, and eastern time zones. I was personally in one of the central time locations. You’re right - it absolutely was a happy medium.
