I'd prefer to talk to my co-workers when necessary, and not any more than that. That could mean slack messages to discuss a certain issue, or even the occasional status update team-wide. Anything beyond that is a farce imo, and just shouldn't be shoe-horned into remote working or software dev culture if it's not there organically. I get no value out of it, and wish others would rely less on that for socializing.

- brailsafe 4y agoI'd like to know about the bigger picture in a way that helps me appreciate it, and only if there's a way I specifically can be involved in getting there or the possible positive or negative outcome of me knowing or not knowing about it. Most of the time though, "knowing about the bigger picture" is actually just some arbitrary executive who wants to hear themselves talk to everyone simultaneously, inevitably saying nothing of substance, and about things I don't and will never likely have involvement with. It's a ludicrous burden to subject myself to, viewing my day to day work through the lense of some specious company-wide objective, especially if the only people who gain are the people at the top. Like seriously, I don't even have stock or stock options, if the company makes more money, it's someone elses choice whether I get anything more out of it, or whether I get fired because my role doesn't fit within their new structure.
