Or they could just be at work an hour earlier every day for the entire year. Make the new "9 to 5", "8 to 4". Or they could just make it so that whatever timezone you're in, you get an hour of sunshine more at night during the winter and leave it in that time all year round.

In Saskatchewan Canada, we're right smack dab in the middle of two time zones so we don't do daylight savings time at all. I remember moving to Manitoba (the next province to the east) for school and couldn't get used to the time switchover. It just didn't make sense to me. By the time 4 o'clock rolled around it was already dark out and heck, when you're a student living in dorms, 4:00-pm is wake-up time sometimes!

Saskatchewan is always under debate whenever daylight savings switchovers happen because we don't 'mesh' very well with the rest of the North America. As an outsider looking in though, it just seems like a big pain!
