Chicago is 12 hours behind Ho Chi Minh City

There is no standard 8-to-6 overlap. Someone joins early or late.

Ho Chi Minh City and Chicago live on different parts of the day. With 12 hours between them, standard working hours simply don't meet. Make the most of handoffs — end-of-day in one city becomes start-of-day in the other, so pass work along rather than meeting live. Note that Chicago follows daylight saving while Ho Chi Minh City stays put, so the times above drift by an hour seasonally.
