We increased our use of basecamp and zoom meetings when necessary. Things are quite smooth.

I think the main plus with my team is that individuals know why they are doing what they do and so they can make most of the smaller decisions without oversight.

Clear written communication, organized in a somewhat accessible and easy to review structure, is sufficient.

I never needed a manager to breathe in my neck nor do my reports. When in the office, I’d see someone face to face once a week, now equally easier with zoom.

We don’t work in a physical factory so the factory model (everyone present on the floor) does not make sense.

As for socializing, that happens via phone calls and zoom - we check in with each other and have a few minutes at the beginning where we connect as human beings.

I never in my career participated in socializing with coworkers apart from the weekly corporate lunch and sporadic one on one lunches so I’m not sure what everyone is talking about. Working in cubicles was crippling for my focus and productivity. Commute was crippling for my health and quality of life. Now, I work remotely, happily uncrippled.
