Rebecca Thorman I would like to do an informal survey for a post I'm thinking about. Are you game? Okay: 1) How often do you interact with your co-workers/boss on work-related business face-to-face? 2) Would you like to increase or decrease that rate? 3) How often do you interact with other people outside of your company face-to-face? 4) Would you like to increase or decrease that rate? 5) How essential is it to interact with others face-to-face in your position? Thanks in advance!

2.) I'm fine with the interaction with my co-workers.
3.) Not at all.
4.) No
5.) It's not essential at all. I could never see a person and still be able to do my job but that would be hella boring.

You're welcome!

I'd like to increase the face-to-face time since my effectiveness at bringing about change is clearly because of face-to-face time. In our business the potential revenue is higher in the internationsl regions than in domestic, so it's important to keep communicating all the time. And when the interaction is face-to-face since I believe it's always easier to influence others around me. Thanks for asking!

2) decrease, because I want to go 99% virtual
3) 2-3 times/month
4) Increase. wait decrease. well, i don't know. I want to do more client facing work, so increase. I also want to be able to be location independent, so decrease. I sort of want a little bit of both.
5)Not essential, everything that I need to accomplish can be done virtually (outside of occasional client facing work).

2) Occasionally I wish to work alone, but I find that collaborative individual work is the most motivating, and progressive set-up.
3) Depending on the project this can be every day, once a month or less.
4) There are benefits to both (a) being in constant contact with our clients (e.g. working in the client's office) and maintaining some independence from them (e.g. performing a third party verification study).
5) Absolutely essential.

Good luck with the post!

2. Decrease with co-workers. Too much time being spent finding ppl in the warehouse to relay a message. Then it turns into a 15min conversation about personal life. Stay the same with boss. We try to shoot one line emails back and forth for quick answers to questions. And try to meet 1x week to go over projects - sometimes this is 1x month.
3. 1x a year at Annual Trade Show.
4. Increase.
5. Not essential. I could do about 80% of my work remotely. Working to get there.
