What is the reasoning behind a face to face
I was just wondering what can be gleaned from a face to face that can't be shared by phone or zoom /microsoft teams meeting. Not being naive but would like to hear others views on it.
Can you be forced into a face to face if you are not mobile enough to get to the office unless you use a taxi.

Re: What is the reasoning behind a face to face
It's not what can be gleaned, more like it enables the following in a more hostile environment:
interviewer bias, pressurising, intimidation, attempted amateur psychology, attempted amateur medical diagnosis etc.
You're not going to get a coffee and doughnuts in the DOM's office to make you feel better.....

It would be nice to think that a face to face the best way for you and your manager to discuss your health issues, theres a disconnect over the phone. In RMs world though, Yellowbelly is probably right

Request a face to face at your own home, it’s a power move

This is the impression I get. Is it also the case you have to have a face to face on a weekly basis?Gary55 wrote: ↑02 Apr 2023, 18:25A lot of it is to say if you can get in you can manage to sort etc. It's bullyingrealitybites wrote: ↑02 Apr 2023, 12:05I was just wondering what can be gleaned from a face to face that can't be shared by phone or zoom /microsoft teams meeting.

Re: What is the reasoning behind a face to face
Do this. Because their rationale is, if you can make it into the office, then you can make it into work.
So make them come to you.
