A thing I love about slack are the huddles. Over the years I came to use them as a sign for "you can talk to me, I'm working on something but do not mind to get interrupted". I still might defer answers or help to a later point. Kind of like an open office door.
Today, for the first time, (temporary and new) team members joined as they thought they forgot a meeting. After explaining, they said the hand never experienced something similar.
How do you make yourself available?

What a recent B.C. court decision could mean for remote work | CBC News https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/bc-appeal-court-remote-work-decision-9.7217725

As more workers across the country find themselves forced back into the office full time, experts say a recent court decision in British Columbia could have broader implications for remote work — and shows why employers need to implement return-to-office mandates with care.
“Early-career workers require more supervision than experienced hires, and build important skills, knowledge and social capital by observing and working alongside senior colleagues. Working from home adds friction to these processes, making entry-level workers more costly to bring on board in terms of time and resources and slowing their prospects for promotion"
Oh, my, the nerve to be able to write that!🤬
Another exhibit of poor #Leadership skills, I guess 😤
[…] remote work may even be a risk factor for AI displacement, since managers who mainly interact with reports over Slack may view their work as more automatable”
See? That quote alone hints the issue is not #DistanceWorking but more along the lines of, yet again, another clear exhibit of poor #Leadership skills when managing virtual teams.
"What if remote working, not AI, is to blame for weak junior hiring?" 👉🏻 https://archive.is/6f8YT
Oh, seriously? You couldn't possibly think of a better argument to whitewash #GenAI within the workplace than to blame #DistanceWorking for not hiring enough young talent, eh?
Shame on you, FT! 😡
Do better! 😤
