DIsrespecufful. “The word JP Morgan’s CEO Jammi Dimon has described the behavior of his employees, as they are often reading individual texts or scanning email, they have seen shareholders in their annual letter: it has to be stopped … It waste time.”
Instead, Dimon emphasized the need for “meeting the meeting”, report Many timesSaying that he always “pays attention to 100 percent (her)”.
As much as I want to hate “The Man” and provokes a grassroots level among the workers in the largest bank of the US against my corporate dag among the fact that no one is found around the fact that this request – this request – this employee is present and focusing, should not be distracted by the phone.
It is strange to read Dimon’s words and have to face how much life has changed in the last five years. Even when I am agreeing with him, I am struggling to remember the last time I went to a meeting and sat for a period, whether it was 15 minutes or an hour, without checking the slack; Fresh Instagram; Reacting to a friend’s WhatsApp with a suitable emoji; Scan my email; Pinging the message after the message, after the message on many platforms, I have opened on my equipment all the time. This seems only acceptable because I am rarely alone in this attempt; I am usually in a room surrounded by other people.
But when did it become so badly a standard exercise? When did the most basic principles of office etiquette disappear? When, briefly, did we collectively forget how to behave at work?
Possibly in etiquette, our decline can be detected the insidious rise and subsequent, dependence of the use of the smartphone. When I first started an office job at the age of 22, the idea of getting out of mobile at work was unimaginable. No one clearly said that it was not allowed – there was just a “understanding” about these things. You placed it in your handbag, checked it at lunch time, and then it went back to the time of the house. Work time was the time of work; You may have to take a specific personal call once in a while, but this was the exception, not the rule.
I cannot go at all when I started to blur the lines between personal and professional. Was the development of rapid speed of social media? Switch from texts for online messaging services like WhatsApp, later comes to us to expect – and feel pressure to answer immediately?
Whatever the reason, we have become gradually but of course the country of the device. Leave it in the bag? Yes! When we go to Lu, we can leave our smartphone at our desk.
According to research published last year, the average Britain spends four hours and 20 minutes online on its phone every day, jumping for more than six hours for people aged 18–24. A separate study of HR review has shown that 60 percent of the Britis cannot go to the entire work day without checking their mobiles. One third of the respondents said that they check their phone every time. 17 percent confessed to doing this several times per hour. And yet only one shocking thing about these numbers is that 40 percent of us Are Management to obtain through nine-to-five without looking at an individual device. What kind of crazy, Hercules will near these people should have these people? Honestly, I say bullshit.
Slow death of taking analog note-a good-old-fashioned pen and relying on paper, for example there was another nail in the coffin for a free-free meetings. Most of my colleagues have their thoughts or discussion points digitally recorded, so that they have no option other than a tool to refer to. Once it is in your hand, of course, so there is a temptation to respond to that email quickly, give your partner a thumb-up icon, start scrolling through social feed and never stop …
And then, of course, Kovid was. I bet that the epidemic was a true criminal when it came to move the goalpost to form a working behavior. How can this not happen when for many workers, the office life became a home-office life throughout the night? It was a huge cultural change, and one of the biggest differences was a meeting.
The epidemic was a true criminal when it came to move to the goals to form a work-appropriate behavior.
While climbing video call technology was an essential stand-in for real cheese during lockdown, the engagement fell. After the initial novelty, half -time colleagues did not even bother to turn on their camera or to unmate themselves. The entire zoom or team’s meetings felt like speaking in zero. At the racial end of the spectrum, I also heard more than one anecdote during the peak-pandic time, which were about the employees, which, which were, were during the camera-off zoom calls during “Lucky” (his colleagues did not make any comprehensible compassionately). Talk about being distracted.
Even the faces that had done to create an onscreen appearance were often empty, distracted, eyes and falling eyes and. It was general knowledge, if not proved, that each participant was working on several other tasks simultaneously, serving at least compared to audio wallpapers with “meeting”. According to a survey of 1,000 participants, 80 percent have ownership of more zoning in virtual meetings than individuals, with 86 percent enter texting and 75 percent do other work at the same time.
Science supports this lack of participation. A study published in the journal Neuroscience It turned out that staring at another person’s face through computer screen inspires social stimulation with the lower levels of some brain activities and in real life.,
All this sets a dangerous example. We must have returned to the office but we never returned to the East-WFH mindset. Young General Z employees had no frame of reference to start, which was completely experienced by the world’s first taste of the world working as remote employees. How can they expect to know that scrolling through Tiktok, while standing to give a financial presentation in front of someone is different to ignore it on a conference call?
For the rest of us, although we have not met anywhere with good excuses, our bad behavior still makes sense. Step to do home and hybrid work also took steps for the “on” culture in which we are always contactable and notifications distract us a hundred times a day. Multitasking on endless platforms and a tab like an ever-colored horse between tasks and tabs, have become an ideal, unable to settle anywhere for a very long time.
We do not check our dull during a meeting because we are rude. We do this because the compulsion to keep our minds and fingers busy all the time seems heavy; We do this because we feel guilty about “not enough”, the other we stop, focus, and pay our full attention to someone; We do it because we can’t No to do it.
JP Morgan is not wrong. Our office etiquette needs some serious work. But on Monday morning, the problem gets deeper than checking the outlook during a catch-up-and the company’s culture will require a big overhaul than leaving your phone at your desk to overcome it.
