A different opinion:
I think that some of these habits are actually examples that regularly apply to mid-level management.
Mgmt being oversubscribed to meetings, or needing to ensure that work has someone on it, or stepping in and out because of meeting conflicts we view as normal. Additionally, a typical role of mgmt is around barrier removal, and prioritization of existing workstreams, and no novel work unless truly needed. I don't take it as highly ineffective though because it works in our system.
My work also eschews video feeds since we use Teams, and Teams performance seems so bad at scale on VPN........
- samus 5y agoI'm pretty sure the blog's author was referring to non-management people who want to give the false impression that they are actively involved and helping to resolve the issue. Edit: it's a waste to send Teams video traffic via VPN and it probably goes to a Microsoft cloud server anyways. The VPN should block this traffic, and the worker's PCs should be configured to not attempt to route it via the VPN.
