Companies should just have roughly 20 "core hours" in the week during which everybody is expected to be reachable for calls, meetings, chats, etc. And then just let people do whatever they want as long as they deliver.
- erik_seaberg 3y agoHalf of every week seems like a lot of talking. I don’t find the remaining 20 hours of deep work to be enough for the team’s goals, or for me personally.
- dieselgate 3y agoThat's reasonable and seems like parent was expecting some to work more hours where/when necessary (or not long as they deliver)
- hotnfresh 3y agoI believe the proposal is to have 20 hours a week in which everyone’s expected to be available at the same time, not limiting weekly work hours to 20.
- Filligree 3y agoTo be clear, you’re saying it’s the non-core hours in which you’d get work done? This is probably true for most ICs, and false for most managers/execs. Hence the tension.
- erik_seaberg 3y agoYeah, clarified that.
- dudul 3y agoYou don't need to talk for the 20 core hours. It's just time where everybody is supposed to be around if there is need for collaborative work. It's a maximum.
