Comment on Dell Sales team told to return to office 5 days a week
yamanii@lemmy.world 1 day agosomeone will overhear (maybe even from an adjacent group) and chime in with useful knowledge
I saw some tips about this, they said to have a group chat and never use DMs so people can see and chime in.

Can confirm - the group chat sucked, especially for us (2002 skype) when it was voice chat, so we often kept non-crucial stuff to the tail end of work hour too, so there was 45 min out of an hour for work before a burst of chatter. That’s supposed to have jibed with some kind of workflow pattern, and it worked … well enough.
That, and you need some watercooler time. The current job has it only once a week, but we all come to meetings early and chat for 10 min while everyone else files in. Get some human time in.
