It's improved our communication - Dave Montez

Instant messaging and text messages. That's how we communicate quickly.

Hey, can you chat? yes/no, or such and such a time. That's the new bumping into each other in the hallway.

I actually think it's improved our communication. It forced us into a situation where we have to be available and aware. And yet at the same time set boundaries for ourselves, so we aren't overworking

We've been good at that.

-----------------------

Rather than focusing on days of the week, improve meeting discipline, reduce internal emails, reclarify your communications protocol, what types of communication on which platform, and expected response time.

And sometimes, that means a quick, and direct, in-platform direct message.

The rules are less important than agreement on their use, as evidenced by the practices of all.

(on the off chance you don't have one, no need to start from scratch, 'Save-As' GitLab's to start, they won't mind)
