I enjoy remote work because I want to feel alone – I can't help but think preferences like this alienate some of your employees. Like me, if I worked with you.

- dbingham 7y agoSlack with access to video calls at need. I've worked remotely for over 8 years at 3 different companies. Two have had some variation of this (Hipchat/Slack + Google Hangout / GoToMeeting or Slack calls) and it works great. We have a daily standup meeting on video and then we can jump on a video call through out the day if we find a need for it. Otherwise, I have clear focus through out the day - I can choose whether to respond to slack notifications or turn them off and work through them later.
- clinta 7y agoI wonder if these remote working tools come from people who worked in an open office space. I have an office, and before that I always had a cube. If somebody wants to start a conversation it starts by knocking on the door, or the entry area to my cube. I'm not used to the idea that somebody on my team can just start talking and assume the team will hear them. So I don't feel the need for that kind of communication with remote employees.
