Subjectivities & Reflexivities - Briody
Storyboard Text
- Slide: 1
- So let's see, I am happily working remotely in my favorite cafe, balancing my personal and family needs with my work schedule but doing it all on my own time and in the places I enjoy and find the most productivity. I have done this for years, feel totally comforable with online collaboration tools, and am used to making connections with colleagues through chats and boards. I doubt I could ever go back into the office full-time.
- Let's get the research on improving worker satisfaction with in-office vs remote work started with some qualitative interviews.
- Slide: 2
- Let's start with some of your experiences as a full-time remote worker: What benefits have you seen from working remotely? What tools do you regularly use? What tools or experiences would help you work better remotely?
- Honestly, I hate remote work and I was a little nervous this interview would just be another push to embrace it. I spent most of my career in a fantastic office setting where I got to talk with my colleagues - friends really - face to face and it made all the difference in the world. I consider myself an extrovert who gets energy from being around others, and I'm also not all that comfortable with some of the new technology. It feels awkward and forced. I miss the old days.
- Slide: 3
- Great, now he's judging me as just another Luddite who can't get with the times.
- Wow, ok. I was not expecting that at all, and it's honestly hard to relate to. Maybe the premise or tone of my questions, even my research, could have been more balanced and accounted for the fact that others might not like remote work. Did my own personal experiences with remote work shape how I approached my questions?Did I start with a biased assumption that "remote = positive" and not consider differing perspectives?Did the tone and angle of my questions put her on the defensive, rather than enable open and honest conversation?
