I think alot of this are symptoms of bad management or inexperienced management dealing with remote work.
I have had to rise to the occasion, and facilitate icebreakers with new hires of other teams (that work with my team).
Their managers thought nothing of directing the new hires to slack and email a handful of strangers.
The companies or individuals that had successfully implemented remote work prior to the pandemic, I think are dealing with it better.
The best tip I read was from the Zapier remote work ‘guide’, to use the Slack giphy add-on, because it is easier to convey emotions via an animated gif versus text.
Of course, it was a major setback when we had to ban it for inappropriate use.
- Bukhmanizer 6y ago> I think alot of this are symptoms of bad management or inexperienced management dealing with remote work I agree, but I’d say >95% of management is completely unprepared to deal with remote work right now, and it doesn’t seem like they’re getting much better.
- daniellarusso 6y agoI agree, the effort is just not there.
- sethammons 6y agoWhat constitutes inappropriate use?
- daniellarusso 6y agoYou search for an animated gif using a particular word and the result is a NSFW image, yet you post it anyway.
- sethammons 6y agoPostings, intentionally, NSFW images isn’t limited to gifs, or even images – one could make an ascii art image that is NSFW. I must still be missing something as I would assume that it should be super easy to have a talk with any employee who is doing anything NSFW at work/on work equipment and institute strict penalties if it is an ongoing issue. Removing everyone’s ability to leverage a (increasingly) common way to express intent/emotion/levity feels like the incorrect solution.
- daniellarusso 6y agoI agree, but it was one of the cofounders. Should they have known better? 100%
