I personally found the opposite with office politics. People are a lot more comfortable being under-handed when they’re at a distance.
I feel like more people are comfortable being underhanded at a distance, but those who are comfortable being underhanded in person are far less effective at a distance. So more total underhanded actions, but each action is significantly less worrisome.
the underhandedness has less of an effect in the dms and group chats.
just saying. the working world has changed dramatically.
I have seen all this crap backfire over the last few years. I guess I'm just lucky?
