What about a remote work future without meetings?

Question

Remote work is trendy in COVID and it will become a normal setting even after the pandemic.

Why do people still need face-to-face meetings if we can use async communication tools to gather thoughts?

working to fix this issue too. seems like using Github issues is the best option to do this so far.

If you have an idea just post a full description/screenshots/implementation steps and timeline, otherwise, no need to waste my time talking about your next billion-dollar/unrealistic ideas in a 2 hours meeting. 🤦‍♂️

@anna_mandziuk @eg21 I tend to associate modality of the meeting to the depth of communication. When you need deep collaboration or influence you need face-to-face. When the communication is light/surface level, you can use a async or remote meeting.

@anna_mandziuk Agree with this. There are also other scenarios where meetings work better. For eg. when you need to influence or sell, need to make quick decisions, etc.

I do think the face-to-face meetings are useful in the sense that the collaborative feel is there and you feel like you can get things done in a more efficient way since you are physically with your co-worker/team.

At oVice, we provide users with access to customizable virtual spaces where they can design it to make it unique and their own while being able to interact with other users in their space in real time!

This helps remote workers maintain that feel of having a face-to-face meeting in the physical office while being in different parts of the world.

@hamedbaatour we are working on ideaio.xyz too! What about your idea? Mind sharing?

@anna_mandziuk @girish_w Yes, or you need to have a 1:1 meeting with your team members/your boss. A sync meeting will be most effective. Any type of meeting you think remote/async communication will work better?

@eg21 @girish_w Totally agree!
