We just had a team meeting and they mentioned that during remote meetings they want cameras on and don’t want us to multitask. However, people always expect me to respond within 2 seconds whenever they ping me and I’ve gotten in trouble about not communicating enough. How do I go about not multitasking but making sure that I’m communicating to people’s standards? It feels impossible to do both.

Agree! So how do you manage?

Can't you just set your status to away while you're on calls? You can't be expected to instantly respond to every message every single minute of the day. Being in a meeting where multitasking is expressly prohibited seems like a pretty valid reason to be temporarily unresponsive.

What do you do if you have 4 hours of meetings but someone needs to get something to a vendor ASAP

Set your status to in a meeting. If people have an issue with you not being available while you're in a meeting, that's their problem and not yours. You simply can't clone yourself to be doing two different things at once.

And what if you’re in meetings all day 🙃
