Cut scope or move the deadline, whichever is most feasible. Whipping the team is a great way to make them leave (like you want to, OP). My old workplace used to pay back overtime in paid leave, but it still didn't seem worth the stress

Yes. As a lead with a team spread across time zones, I’m constantly reminding (nagging) people to check in. I don’t want to have to corral people into a ‘least inconvenient’ meeting slot to get updates.

NHK World has some great content. When I stayed in Hanoi for a couple months, the Japanese international TV channel was one of the few things I could watch. There were tons of great stories on travel in Japan, people who make everything fro

1:1s. WIPs. Asynchronous comms. That’s it. For people who want to, they develop a closer relationship and catch up more often. But it’s not expected. We trust our people, and expectations have been set and agreed upon. It’s enough.

OP - the people involved only want to cover their arses, and they're all using you to do it. This is unjust, but unfortunately it's also normal. Time to stop talking and focus 100% on avoiding conviction by working carefully with
