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?

meetings on remote teams are hard. we get caught between two conflicting feelings: 1. “I don’t like meetings” 2. “I feel disconnected from my team” I’m increasingly convinced that many (most?) remote teams are having on the wrong kind of meetings (a meetings thread, I guess)

Hear me out here, but if your staff work from home, saving you money in office rental, insurance, IT costs, utility bills, etc etc, shouldn’t they be getting a pay rise rather than a pay cut?

I can’t help thinking that this pandemic would be over by now if we had admitted the main spreading places like schools and work are full of bullies at leadership level down and we just don’t need to be present in those unsafe spaces anymore to thrive

Saying that physical co-mingling is vital to innovation is literally telling your disabled and distributed employees that they aren't an imperative part of your inventions and growth, and identifying it as the catalyst removes all of the times one of those employees sparked it.

Look employers there is one reason and one reason only I’m coming back to the office. To find out how tall everyone is

I wish instead of "remote work" we started talking about distributed teams.

Ok first day back in the office, serious question: How did we do this before? Like just sit around holding our farts in. Madness.

Interesting! Women prefer remote work at a higher rate than men, citing not having to get dressed up and having more flexibility as key reasons. This resonates with me a lot - NOT needing to put in 30+ minutes on hair/makeup daily adds up quickly. axios.com/the-gender-div…

The act of physically moving oneself to a dedicated location 5 times a week to open a laptop and do exactly what can be done in any location from 9-5 and repeating this weekly...is a bizarre concept

Great thread on remote working - the part about people speaking in absolutes is on point

A quick hit list of remote working thoughts. Most people who tried it want to carry on. Most people who tried it also want to go back to the office sometimes.

If you have a tight space in your home office, the Webaround green screen works nicely. Got it this week, and it's already been a great enhancement to recording/streaming. 🎥🎙️🟩

The weird thing about this pandemic is that we’re meeting new people over Zoom but only seeing the upper half of their bodies. For all we know we could be meeting centaurs and mermaids.

I hate almost everything about google meet, but the one feature every video conferencing platform should adopt is letting you see who is in a call before you join it. rhiaro.co.uk/2021/03/hate-a…

The great thing about working remotely is the flexibility. But not when you’re working 9-5 then have a random burst of inspiration for something you’ve been stuck on all day at 7pm then working until it’s done. I’ll get better at this balance, I promise! 🥲

You know that you can work remotely. Don’t worry about employers demanding going back to the office. The secret is out.
