It’s been about a month and half nearly two months now of working completely virtual and staying away from the office due to Covid19. There were some initial bumps, such as,
- dropped vpn connections or capacity overload
- home wifi connectivity issues
- missing having two monitors
- issues with team collaboration tools
- missed meeting by team members
- video shy team members
However once things settled down, everyone began to,
- appreciate the flexible schedules and no commutes
- appreciate the improved team communication with the collaboration tools.
- show an increased willingness to have more meetings.
- laugh at people’s sartorial choices sometimes.
- appreciated that the productivity stayed steady perhaps even improved.
- most of all appreciated the pervasive sense of we are in this together
