From the questions he asked it sounds like he is trying to figure out why this is. And TBH we are seeing the same thing at my company and wondering the same things - is it that more was learned in the office (maybe even subconsciously) than we thought? Is it that our managers & directors didn't really get any training on managing remotely and it's a different skill set? Is it that questions that normally got answered in the 2 minute walk to the fridge go unanswered now that the day is blocked with back to back to back calls?

Of course. Many managers didn’t adapt to the new way of working. It’s not totally their fault—it’s been a stressful couple of years—but it’s also their fault they aren’t engaging with new staff. I see it at my company too. These A-types love talking and being seen, but don’t make the effort to reach out and engage with the remote workers.

These blowhards will say anything. No actual data provided on how they measured this and he literally said the opposite last year.

The blame doesn’t lie with those individuals that were hired to immediately know how to be productive in a remote environment. That’s on their managers - buck stops there, plain and simple.

Also, ironic that one of the co-authors of a book on successful hybrid/remote work (How The Future Works: Leading Flexible Teams To Do The Best Work Of Their Lives) was written by a Slack VP, which Salesforce owns.

Exactly. Many (but not all) managers like to take all the credit and none of the blame.

Same here. We have found some really good hires. Because we made the effort to engage with them.

When is it either allowed or seen as OK to start using FTO? I recently started here and while I’m not looking to slack off and take time off, I just want to know how it works.

The short: Would anyone be up for starting regular virtual co-working sessions? I’m thinking 2-3 rounds of [5 mins to set intentions : 45 mins of work : 10 min break]. The long: One technique I’ve found to stay focused is “body doubling,” i.e., having another person present while you’re working. I’ve had some success replicating this over Zoom/Google Meet. Everyone works on their own thing and stays muted during work blocks, but videos stay on. It reminds me of studying in the library vs at home

Business Analyst (Internal Hire) working in freight technology knowing I am incredibly underpaid.

I’m in my 2nd month as an internal hire (formerly a Pricing Analyst). I did negotiate for a higher salary when I made the transition receiving nothing but the promise of a conversation to reevaluate in three months.

I’ve been able to hit the ground running, picking up the slack, and have delivered tickets as if I was already a Business Analyst.

I am trying to write a stock letter to send to parents everyday that their child does not come to virtual learning sessions. I have been told by administration that even though I have spoken to parents and know why students are not coming to zoom classes, that we still need to contact them everytime they dont come. For some of my students this is everyday due to parent work schedules and disability issues.
Is anyone else having this trouble? What are you saying to parents to cover yourself?
