| Sep 19, 2022 at 16:41 | comment | added | mmmmmm | @StephanBranczyk This is important enough that I think it needs to be an answer. I have worked with remote teams for 15 years and interactions only worked well if we had met in person. | |
| Sep 19, 2022 at 2:50 | comment | added | Stephan Branczyk | "this is not related to my work." People who already know each other can work remotely super well together. However, when there is a newcomer, it can be very difficult for that newcomer to come up to speed when he doesn't know everyone. In other words, your attendance is required for their benefit, and the benefit of the company, but not necessarily your benefit. | |

FWIW, as a director who works from home full-time in a different state to most of my team, I find meeting in person occasionally is crucial for maintaining the kind of rapport that helps the team run smoothly. | |
| Sep 18, 2022 at 22:19 | comment | added | Peter M | @EnricoRossini If you as a manager skip out on something like this, then it will affect your team .. IMHO that is squarely in the realms of your performance because you are not a worker bee. | |
| Sep 18, 2022 at 21:03 | comment | added | Enrico | The company has to evaluate my performance in my job and how I manage the department, not if I go to social events. If they have bad impressions, this is not related to my work. What do you think? | |
