> frequent one-on-ones Doesn't that just waste people's time? The weekly google hangout as opposed to a daily one is a good decision. Less disruption to those actually doing the work. > a) It should be all remote, or all local. You ruin the fun for people if a chunk of the team if talking, and chat is dead. I've worked in both situations. I'm remote now on a 100% remote team, but I've also worked in the main office and communicated with two remote co-workers. With Google Hangout and Zoom, I've noticed no difference between these two setups. People who work better by talking everything through in person will just use google hangouts to have conversations with the people they need and leave the rest out. You still wind up with some people being left out of the loop and chat is still 90% dead, except for the occasional entertaining gif and water cooler talk.
