... yes, of course I have been. I have not lived in a magical fairy land for the last few years. From that you can go "oh, maybe the issues I personally have communicating online don't apply to everyone else" rather than saying that I have no experience with what I'm talking about.
> IRL communication that takes seconds to minutes takes 30-40 minutes over a video call.
That sounds like you have communication issues, not technical ones. If it's something that's going to take just a couple of seconds, why are you having a meeting about it? Why are you not just using irc/slack? It _sounds_ like you're saying that you want to return to the office because if everyone is in the office you can just interrupt other people whenever you have a question - which is one of the single most annoying things about being in the office.
- cowsandmilk 4y agoI’ve found onboarding of new employees to be far more effective in person where you can both see the same screen. Also, while I’ve never actually worked some place that did pair programming, there were a decent number of companies where that was the norm prepandemic and I would argue there’s never been a virtual equivalent that had the same benefits.
- whywhywhywhy 4y ago>That sounds like you have communication issues Cool victim blaming to justify you wanting to sleep in or ignore your coworkers. If I implied you had laziness issues you’d fly off the handle but you’re happy to imply a whole host of mental, competence or physical issues to my communication just because I pointed out video chat has a delay. Think that speaks volumes you’re so gratuitously defensive. I pointed out objective facts you lashed back.
