No "Hello", No "Quick Call", and No Meetings Without an Agenda


When working remotely, asking for help is often just a few keystrokes away. So it's tempting to "quickly" ask someone for support when you get stuck.

There is another possibility - you're lazy and selfish, so you don't care how your interruptions affect others because your questions need to be answered right now with minimal effort on your end. It's better than spending 30 minutes during the meeting franticly jumping through the code, trying to remember what each function did, and either answering your questions in the meantime or feeling the weight of silence when you look at my screen and all the mistakes I make when typing. It will also make your peers want to help you instead of taking a deep breath and closing the chat window each time they get a "Hi" or "Quick call?"
