Remote work has led to more meetings than ever was the case in person. Google Calendar's default 30 minute meeting has made things a lot worse so that each interruption is now at least 30 minutes.
- bombcar 4y agoSomeone needs to create the 30 Minute hour - where you can only be in a meeting for half of the actual hour heh.
- winrid 4y agoSame. I left one company due to multiple standups a day once WFH started.
- actionablefiber 4y agoDo you commonly use the full meeting time though...? My experience with remote meetings has been that either you just terminate the call when you're done with whatever you started the call for, or you end it after 30 minutes because one or more people have meetings to go to, or you keep going for however long the problem still exists and all participants are available to work on it (or until you give up and shelve it for another time). But in most cases 30 minutes ends up being the upper bound on interruption time, not the lower bound.
- sokoloff 4y agoIf I have a 10-10:30 and 10:30-11 meeting and the first one ends after 17 minutes, the effective interruption is still 30 minutes IMO.
