Interesting, I guess for me it's hard to tell how strong "remote" relationships really are. Fortunately, I'm more articulate / interesting in my writing than when people talk to me. But "being accountable" over slack for me is at least 2-3x as taxing as just having to hop into a meeting with someone or just some brief in person back and forth.
Sometimes it feels like my team performance is being gauged how much I talk through slack, in ways you'd usually just be expected to do so in person or more traditionally. When in reality, I just forget sometimes or suck at knowing how my writing comes off. Since I have an odd sense of humor / sometimes talk like a robot to make sure I'm being clear.
- MattGaiser 5y agoI view a remote relationship as strong enough if I would willingly refer someone for a job and they would refer in return or I would trust them enough to do a small contract project with them. As for how I am perceived on Slack, I view my team as a single point of failure and make sure that I am always in a position to get other similar offers. Makes how I am perceived not really matter as I am not the kind to go for an internal promotion anyway as it is more complicated, and again, a single point of failure.
