It works better for some people/orgs than others. My company worked in a Google Meet for 6 hours yesterday in a war room, cracking jokes, socializing, with most cameras off, mostly just voice chat and the occasional screen share. We got the job done, we had fun, and people came and went. The cool part was that we had different disciplines together that wouldn’t sit together. Shit, we had people in 4 different time zones, not even all on the same continent.
Now it’s the next day… do I want to do it again today? No. I’m an introvert and I’m all out of spoons. But the next thing? sure!
AND I saved 1.5 hours of commute and 60 miles of gas/tires/oil
