Sitting in the Google Meet waiting room until more people show up because you have crippling social anxiety and hate awkward/forced conversations 🙃

Im sorry but the fact that anybody is acting like any tech/security/writing/social media position cannot be wfh after the last 2.5 years we all have collectively experienced is fucking laughable and insane

Some really interesting things about how to handle a timezone-distributed team, but also some interesting ideas about hybrid/remote teams and building up a better social and human time.
OK, this is going to sound like one of those awful Chat Magazine Top Tips… My home office has laminate flooring & it is cold. I've taken a toilet mat & put it under my desk! Now my feet stay warm and my chair doesn't get caught on the carpet. What's your top home-office hack?Terence Eden (@edent)Mon, 11 Nov 2019 17:52 GMT

meetings on remote teams are hard. we get caught between two conflicting feelings: 1. “I don’t like meetings” 2. “I feel disconnected from my team” I’m increasingly convinced that many (most?) remote teams are having on the wrong kind of meetings (a meetings thread, I guess)Jason Lengstorf (@jlengstorf)Fri, 03 Sep 2021 15:34 +0000
Hear me out here, but if your staff work from home, saving you money in office rental, insurance, IT costs, utility bills, etc etc, shouldn’t they be getting a pay rise rather than a pay cut?

I can’t help thinking that this pandemic would be over by now if we had admitted the main spreading places like schools and work are full of bullies at leadership level down and we just don’t need to be present in those unsafe spaces anymore to thrive

Saying that physical co-mingling is vital to innovation is literally telling your disabled and distributed employees that they aren't an imperative part of your inventions and growth, and identifying it as the catalyst removes all of the times one of those employees sparked it.

Companies who don't support full remote are currently losing candidates to companies that do. CANDIDATES. If people who don't even work for you yet are moving on to look somewhere else, what do you think your current employees are doing?Ben Lesh 🎨💻🎮 (@BenLesh)Wed, 30 Jun 2021 05:04 +0000

Interesting! Women prefer remote work at a higher rate than men, citing not having to get dressed up and having more flexibility as key reasons. This resonates with me a lot - NOT needing to put in 30+ minutes on hair/makeup daily adds up quickly. axios.com/the-gender-div…Sommer Panage (@Sommer)Fri, 21 May 2021 21:58 +0000

The act of physically moving oneself to a dedicated location 5 times a week to open a laptop and do exactly what can be done in any location from 9-5 and repeating this weekly...is a bizarre concept

The weird thing about this pandemic is that we’re meeting new people over Zoom but only seeing the upper half of their bodies. For all we know we could be meeting centaurs and mermaids.

I hate almost everything about google meet, but the one feature every video conferencing platform should adopt is letting you see who is in a call before you join it. rhiaro.co.uk/2021/03/hate-a…rhiarobot (@rhiaro)Wed, 03 Mar 2021 11:06 GMT
The great thing about working remotely is the flexibility. But not when you’re working 9-5 then have a random burst of inspiration for something you’ve been stuck on all day at 7pm then working until it’s done. I’ll get better at this balance, I promise! 🥲Pauline P. Narvas (@paulienuh)Mon, 01 Mar 2021 21:21 GMT
In every Zoom/Teams/Google call I was on this week, I noted what happened when a man and a woman tried to talk at the same time. 86% woman apologized and asked the man to continue 10% man apologized and asked the woman to continue 4% someone else suggested who should go firstAlyssa Miller - 🌈Rainbow Teamer🌈 (@AlyssaM_InfoSec)Fri, 26 Feb 2021 02:36 GMT
