I have 4 roommates my age and still want to chat with my coworkers. I miss the interaction
Please talk to us, we’re lonely and it helps us to be more comfortable with you
You do you!!!
Pro
I don’t really care for small chat like “how was your weekend” BUT I do enjoy talking about news and current events (not political, more so business news)
Yes please talk to your new associates !!
I’m a fairly chatty senior, but I always worry that my staff feel like they have to chat to be nice and really just feel like I’m holding them hostage from working. Glad to hear people like it though.
Me and my seniors have become really good friends, mainly because being remote has led me to being a peer rather than someone that they senior over. Over time I report to them just as much as they report to me as I’ve taken over various aspects of the work streams beyond delivery
I’m a new senior starting remote and I honestly would love to make some work friends but remote makes it hard 🥲
Don't live at home, but talking with coworkers is the only interaction with other people I get some days, especially in busy season. So yes, I enjoy when a senior goes off topic a bit, it allows me to learn more about them since we have never met in person.
We do remote team rooms for set hours. Leklme can come and go as they'd like. Typically chatting will take place then or during daily one on one check ins.
For context I’m in an apartment without a roommate. Precovid I just wanted to get my work done and go home. There was plenty of small talk scattered throughout the day.
Now? I’ll shoot the shit with anyone that wants to chat at work. Anything to break up the monotony of sitting in a quiet apartment all day
I’m a chatty senior and I love chatting with associates. I tend to like working with ppl I like. And that typically is through getting to know ppl.
Can you chat with our staff bc I’m a senior who doesn’t want to chat and they keep imposing themselves on me bc I’m nice
I only chat with those in my level, and keep it professional for those who review my work.
Also tbh when I was a staff 1, one of my first seniors was completely all business/professional and never ever showed that she was anything but a complete robot. I never found her to be genuine
Agreed, I want my associates to feel like they can trust me and can come to me if they need help, professionally or personally. The first year in b4 is so hard, and I want them to know they aren’t alone even though we’re virtual. That’s one of the things I love the most about being a senior, is helping the first years find their way. It’s a huge milestone in life to go from college to working, and especially at b4, and that means it’s going to feel strange and scary and overwhelming and impossible some days, but with the right support it can blossom into something amazing, and I really love getting to be a small part of that.
Work and log off. Small talk every now and then to build a rapport with each other, but not all the time.
