  1. The secret to writing so that others can loop themselves into a project without pestering you is to understand what prior context matters and how to convey that simply. In a meeting, this would be the preamble that you’d share with someone in the first few minutes to “bring them up to speed.”

  5. It’s sad to hear that more companies, like Amazon, are enforcing blanket back-to-office policies. The truth is that it is not a failure of the workforce to work productively from outside the office, but a failure of the business to take advantage of the benefits of working.

    Here are just a few of the advantages these companies are missing out:

    🏥 Better business continuity
    🦶 Reduced carbon footprint
    😊 Increased productivity and happiness
    🤸 Long-term flexibility
    🌊 A larger

  8. Today our monthly team meeting in the office is on the agenda. Some exchange, less focused phases throughout the day.

    Sometimes I like that. But really only sometimes. 😄

  9. Can't have a Return to Office mandate if you don't have an office.

  10. Once a month is office day. 😷

    Means: wearing a mask, eating supermarket salad bowles and looking forward to being back at WFH tomorrow.

  13. So few workers go into the office now that more than one-third of desks sit empty all week
    fortune.com/2023/08/22/remote-

    Some key stats from the article:
    - "The report, from Australian workplace sensor provider XY Sense, found that 36% of so-called workpoints — cubicles and desks — are never occupied, “indicating a general oversupply.” Of those that are used, 29% were for three hours or less on a given day."
    - "Overall, office utilization is stuck at about 50% of pre-pandemic levels."

    Since this is the reality of the situation, why are so many companies and senior managers hellbent on getting workers back into the office? Surely they can see from productivity that people who work from home are as good or better at the job as people who work in the office?

  14. i can believe that some people genuinely like and want to return to being in-office.

    just like i can believe that some people genuinely like and want to get up at 5 in the morning.

    but why should that be the rest of us' problem? why do we have to conform to their idiosyncrasies?

  15. I wonder if we should start labelling working from an office as "wfo" to help normalise remote work 🤔

    #RemoteFirst #RemoteWork #wfh > #wfo

  16. It's interesting watching people working at companies that are forcing them to work from their office X days a week all getting sick at the same time shortly after. 🤦

  17. @KirstieJane whilst people may actually be remote, it's clear that not all work practices have adjusted themselves. We totally do not have #asyncWork working. I think #asyncWork rather than just #remoteFirst is the true goal. Then we each can work/engage when circumstances allow.

  18. Oooph, the exclusion of in-person only networking and strategy setting events is making me furious.

    Baby is poorly, I’m poorly, so the responsible thing is to stay home tomorrow. To not pass on my germs to 20+ colleagues.

    And therefore I’ll miss the (an? feels like the) opportunity to shape the direction of a major research initiative and (possibly) gain some respect as a fellow research leader.

    I’m so mad that we’ve let drop by the wayside so badly 😭🤬🤦🏼‍♀️
