  • The realestate claim is just plain backwards. It does depend on the person, but making the claim that people in general are happy to donate part of their home to their employer and impact their families with work from home is just wrong. Emails instead of meetings should be common sense for status meetings and has no impact on the choice to work from home. Meetings that have agendas should be in person, especially if its on sensitive topics. All reasons I have listed above.

    Some people sure do benefit working from home. I liked no commute, it saved a lot of money and wasted time but it made home worse.

    We work to live. Work should have no place in our home.


  • You have it backwards. Completely.

    1. I have no intentions of bringing my work home, work is a job, it has no place in my home impacting my family.
    2. I will not lose a part of my home to my jobs business. Its not their property, it is my home.i would rather the office be a bedroom so my children dont have to share a room.
    3. We evolved without video conferencing, it is natural and easier to meet with someone in person to convey emotion and understand people we meet with. It is too easy to dismiss someone over a screen, empathy is too easily lost. It is also harder to be ignored in person.
    4. I can see when my ataff are struggling off meeting or when talking to others and help them. This is a bit micro-managey however I value the insight especially for staff that struggle to communicate.

    The only thing I loath about working in another building is: the commute and distractions. The commute is expensive and a huge waste of time. I try and minimise the time waste with audio books but its forced waste of money. The distractions can be minimised with headphones.

    The good

    • webinars, they coined the term, unmatched especially at very large scale.
    • New app with integrated meetings app is much better.
    • Chat and spaces are good,
    • routing content to SharePoint is great integration for document management and collaboration to protect documents and important content without worrying staff with process
    • Admin troubleshooting is unmatched when someone complains about an issue it makes it very easy to identify what happened. something teams is absolutely atrocious at (we run both)
    • Outlook integration is great which integrates with room systems and booking room panels
    • adhoc meetings from panels outside rooms show in room calendars and all sync which is a nice feature

    The bad

    • Events need better integration
    • Echo and noise cancellation is poor, get headphones they are a must, mic pickup fades in and out all the time on speakers on various devices or use a room system
    • Conference translator audio channels don’t seem to exist for large multicultural conferences. +1 for Zoom
    • video could be crisper, costs money to go 1080p and above

    Want

    • space conferences could be better (not to be confused with meetings/events) with a discord like voice+video+sharing like experience for spaces instead of just bulk calling all members…(would help bring people together more when working remotely) people could just join “live spaces” dropping in and out

    WebEx room systems are great, easy to configure and great service to use, great for ver large conferences (think 1000-5000 or more) and it integrates with Teams meetings as well. That said, Zoom integration is terrible, they need to work on advanced conferencing features such as translator audio channels, echo and noise canceling is utter trash for the app, breakout rooms limited list goes on.
