In exchange, now you have proper record of everything said and done.
I love the fact that I can always go back to Slack and say “See? This is what we agreed upon”, instead of having to recall the specifics of a meeting where notes weren’t taken in detail.
- maratc 5y agoMuch is still being said in person or calls, because talking is much more efficient than writing, so ... no, we don't "have proper record of everything said and done."
- manuelabeledo 5y agoYet we should.
- maratc 5y agoWhether we should have that record or not is completely orthogonal to the conversation about how remote workers force (or not) the others to behave in a certain way to accommodate the remoteness of these workers.
- nevermindiguess 5y agoSo you like the written “proof” so you can face off your colleagues in case of disagreement? You seem to have negative feelings about your work environment. You should consider changing jobs.
- manuelabeledo 5y agoNo, I want processes, agreements, and ideas, documented. Slack, Zoom and other tools make this easier. As someone who had to train many junior employees, having a record trail is the best answer to the question “why the hell did we do this in the first place?”.
- closeparen 4y agoI don’t find any difference in the record-keeping of remote vs. in person meetings. The record button is available to both, but the resulting video files just as unwieldy, and Zoom’s transcripts are garbage. Nor do I see any increased willingness to hash out complex issues in writing. The moment things get even slightly complex in a thread, it’s “let’s hop on a call.”
