Linked – Retention Crisis: 46% of Managers Want Out – What’s your plan?
In my opinion, most managers are in an untenable position. The people reporting to them are expected to be engaged, productive, and successful.

I agree, I have noticed that people do seem to be more aware of when someone else is trying to talk and how they might have interrupted or stepped over them. We absolutely should make time for just socializing. One of my biggest pet peeves about the argument that remote workers just don’t connect as a team and collaborate is that it is possible if you simply intentionally create the space for it. We should trust our employees enough to multitask during the parts of meetings that aren’t really relevant to them, and by all means, we should consider having fewer meetings.
