When you're remote you miss a lot of context. Overcommunicating in writing helps address that. Eliminating information or not expecting people to fully read and engage with what they read is going in the wrong direction of the fundamental problem.
- tekknik 6y agoIf an email is too long, then some will just ignore it. So overcommunicating can lead to people ignoring your essays for a simple point. Then there’s the time aspect. With everybody overcommunicating how will work get done with everybody overcommunicating to discuss a bug? Some of the most productive teams I’ve been around and on barely needed any communication outside of quick alignment meetings. Seems this is very opinionated, rather than fact.
