-------------------
“In a hybrid or full remote work position, people try to demonstrate that they're on the job or that they're working. And so the most visible way to do this day-to-day, ends up being responsiveness. And so, people are always breaking their focus time to respond to a work chat, email. Or some people just like helping other people and interacting when they're at home with their coworkers through these chat programs. I think it turns out to be like a fire drill kind of way of working, where you just work on whatever pops up. Which I don't think is necessarily the most prioritized way of working.” – Julie Yang
