| Jul 31, 2021 at 19:32 | comment | added | Adam Barnes | @Imus adding to what Tim said, there's also the fact that this is the workplace and you are being hired to communicate and collaborate. It's not other people's job to interpret you, you must work with them. | |
| Jul 30, 2021 at 20:10 | comment | added | Tim Sparkles | @Imus A mitigating factor to the introvert body language concern is that virtual meetings afford both a voice and a text channel. Assuming that someone is monitoring the text channel, introverts can provide their thoughts asynchronously, without having to stress about finding a synchronous crack in the conversation in which to interject. | |
| Jul 30, 2021 at 17:09 | comment | added | Imus | @adambarnes reading body language of introverts is one. Sometimes in person you can tell if someone disagrees or doesn't understand the reasoning but does not want to disturb the meeting. If you got someone capable of reading body language they can pick up such cases and enforce settling it now rather than losing over a week over a mistake. This is especially true when discussing between technical and non technical people. There are other reasons as well but most not directly measurable so hard to point out directly. Also highly cultural dependant I guess. | |
| Jul 30, 2021 at 7:41 | comment | added | Adam Barnes | @PascalKlein I am unable to find arguments as to why meetings are required to happen face to face. It's possible I'm not reading properly. Would you be so kind as to quote one? | |
| Jul 28, 2021 at 20:24 | comment | added | Pascal Klein | Thanks for your answer. However I explicitly mentioned that I would like to keep in person meetings and I even argued why. You now told me that I should change this requirement and just do all meetings digital. From your point of view it might make sense, that I should change my assumptions and requirements. But from my point of view, I specifically listed requirements (such that in person meetings can easily be scheduled) and thought about these requirements for a long time and now I am looking for a solution with these requirements in mind. | |
| Jul 28, 2021 at 14:36 | comment | added | shoover | This. My team don't even all live on the same continent, so our meetings have always had a virtual component. | |
| Jul 28, 2021 at 8:06 | comment | added | R Davies | Yes this. My company is moving to 60/40 split. We've got meeting rooms set up for mixed mode meetings and a guideline of organising meetings respectfully (so not forcing an entirely in person meeting if its unnecessary etc) Combine this with a culture of keeping your location updated on some sort of calendar system, or as a status on your instant messaging system. And then using tools like an instant messaging system too, and I don't see why you'd be having issues. | |
