    Respect

    In the old days of feudal Japan, a samurai warrior would shout “Mi no hodo o shire!”, ‘Know your place!’ at anyone who dared to show insufficient respect. And with that, a sword would be brought swiftly down upon the poor unfortunate’s head. Well, you might not have to fear a sword any more but it would still be wise to always remember your place. Even if you don’t have the language skills, a softening of the voice, a discreet awareness of the other person’s personal space and undemonstrative body language go a long way showing respect.

    Later versions seem to have “身の程を知れ”, but it looks like they changed the page a few times.



  • I’m not in love with Teams but I’m sometimes surprised how much hate it attracts. I’ve never used a video conference tool I’ve thought was great. Teams is definitely bloated and each new version seems to improve one issue and introduce another, but the UI is generally fairly intuitive and the calls are typically high quality.

    The worst I’ve used by far was Google Meet; used it a few times for one client and the video and audio quality was atrocious.

    This is a way bigger faux pas than an ignorable “hi” in my books. We’ve got tools for organizing a meeting. You can check my availability alongside everyone else’s, so we don’t spend three hours playing Calendar Battleships.

    Even if it’s just the two of us, don’t ask me to check my calendar because you can’t be bothered to.
