  Unless you eat lunch with senior leadership your in person socializing through meetings is meaningless and relationship can be fostered over slack.

    // Unless you eat lunch with senior leadership your in person socializing through meetings is meaningless and relationship can be fostered over slack. Objectively not true. Say hi to someone at the coffee machine, chat, what do you do, etc - learn he's worked on something similar to what I am trying to do now - get some help. If not for coffee-machine run-in, wouldn't know he exists, wouldn't know he's done that thing. Multiplied by a hundred micro-interactions like this a day. Zoom/slack is less serendipitous, more planned. But if I don't know I need to meet you ahead of time, I won't.

      100 times each day you are saying hi and finding out someone is working on the same project you are and now that you connected you can get help? Would you be better off in support forums for your specific issue.. reading about how others solved similiar issues? or asking a collection of people around the world going through similiar problems? Talking to a 100 people a day for 5 minutes would be 500 minutes a day. Hard to get any work in.

    I don't believe that. When you are working with a group of people that you don't know very well, real face-to-face meetings work better. A lot of our communication is non-verbal. You lose that when you are using slack.
