My biggest gripe with returning to the office is the inability to determine and enforce priority.
At home, if you slack me and you’re not my top priority right now, I can ignore you or politely reply that I’ll be with you shortly.
In the office folks can simply walk over and tap me on the shoulder. Due to social norms, I cannot simply ignore you and most like will need to devote my full attention to your questions.
Essentially, my actions throughout the day make a subtle shift from proactive activities to reactive.
If I’m not the only person to experience this, I wonder what the macro effect is on an organization?
