ping "Hey, Bob, can I share my desktop and show you something?"
Five minutes later, Bob is fixing his mistake.
Or, Bob has notifications turned off, and he lets me know as soon as he's available again.
My point is that the tools are there to address this concern. I don't go a day without sharing my desktop or looking at someone else's. And in some ways it's even more efficient and less disruptive than getting up, walking over to someone's desk.
- McWobbleston 5y agoI can't describe how distracting it is for me personally to have to overhear every screen share in a physical office, and how great and easy it is to do it remotely and even pull in another couple people if something they're knowledgeable about comes up
- dragonsky67 5y agoI have found that the introduction of using remote tools (Teams etc) regardless of in/out of office location has dramatically improved collaboration. People seem to be a lot more open to sharing ideas. We tend to chat back and forward all day. If you really need to, kill notifications and mark yourself as busy or focusing and review the chat when you are available. The only down side I've found is that workgroup chats, being somewhat private, can tend to become a bit of an echo chamber if there is any dispute or controversy in the workplace. Dealing with this tend has required everybody to step back and examine their behaviour. I would assume that if you had a team in a different location you could have a similar problem.
