You can catch a spare minute by the coffee machine but you have to schedule zoom.
Maybe you could fire off a slack and hope for the best, but you can't really guage when a good time for a chat can be.
Async communication is good but its not quite the same to try to meet someone over slack, out of the blue, like you might in the break room.
- andrei_says_ 5y agoI send or get a “Can you zoom for 5min” SMS 4-5 times a week with my closest team members. I agree, this does establish a sense of immediacy and collaboration which the formality of scheduled meetings lack. When we worked in the same office, the walk-in frequency was about the same. The difference between the two is negligible though and not spending the extra 3h per day for commute and office lunch is night and day.
