In the first installment of our new column about the tech workforce, Jennifer Riggins asks if we really need all those standups and status updates. Is there a better way? #management #scrum #engineeringmanagement #ITmanagement

Remote work opens the option for nomad life, but it also adds the option for the exact opposite... Settling down. Instead of constantly moving for the best job offer you can: • Stay • Put down roots • Build closer connections • Get involved in your community

it's interesting that a full 2+ years into remote work for many organizations, we are still framing this as "how do we replicate the ceremonies and customs of the office, online" and not "what new things might we try to unlock the full benefits of this way of working".

working from home = an extra hour in bed!

I'm having the best time in my life, all-remote at @GitLab - today marks my 2nd year 💜 dnsmichi.at/2022/03/02/2-y… It still feels like getting started. 🙃

Being able to sigh/grumble/~noise in meetings silently is one of remote's great gifts

Just sighed a sufficiently deep sigh that the meeting app told me to unmute if I want to talk.

Did you try the new huddle feature on @SlackHQ to get on a quick voice chat with someone? if they don't show up after a while, Slack plays a waiting music 🤣

Remote for almost 2 years? Ain’t nobody tryin to work in an office ever again and deal with micro aggressions, shady ass coworkers, the person who wants to stand at your desk and gossip, interoffice politics, and commuting in the cold, NOPE

Type I Zoom error: you think people can hear you, but you’re actually on mute. Type II Zoom error: you think your muted, but actually people can hear you.

Train firms to provide free access to mindfulness apps in effort to lure commuters back, giving workers a tough choice between £130 for 90 minutes of whale sounds or just staying at home for free.

Tip: Instead of asking if folks can see your screen trust the tool to indicate you're sharing and say, let me know if you need me to zoom or resize anything.

There is something so creepy about being invited to Zoom events where they offer an Uber Eats or GrubHub credit. It's like, "Stay safely at home, while servants cook and delivers your food, taking all risk for you." Risk offloaded onto the viral underclass. For my comfort.

The “people miss out on advancement if they’re remote” takes should really read “outdated models of company culture have relied on personal casual relationships, over collaborative working ones, for advancement”

Alright now that i'm full-time permanently remote for the long term I decided it was finally time to start using my DSLR camera that I use for videos as my actual webcam. 10/10 would recommend! shout out to @HandMirrorApp for a quick cam check before going on zoom 💅

Remote work manages to avoid certain uncomfortable social dynamics and I’m all for it. Cheers to minimizing inappropriate and uninvited comments about personal life, health, wellbeing, etc! 🥂

I read somewhere that Black employees are a lot happier with WFH as they can now avoid the daily micro aggressions of being in a physical office. And I felt that.

Stop using fully remote to get engineers interested if in reality, you’ll want them in the office 2x a month.

Idea: An anonymous "vote to end meeting" button where if 50% of people press it, the meeting ends immediately.

Im sorry but the fact that anybody is acting like any tech/security/writing/social media position cannot be wfh after the last 2.5 years we all have collectively experienced is fucking laughable and insane

OK, this is going to sound like one of those awful Chat Magazine Top Tips… My home office has laminate flooring & it is cold. I've taken a toilet mat & put it under my desk! Now my feet stay warm and my chair doesn't get caught on the carpet. What's your top home-office hack?
