SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:
3:00 - KD asks Tim what his favorite OG from old-school rap is. He loves LL Cool J and JLee likes Dr. Dre because of his purple satin suit.
5:15 - KD has been hitting business travel hard over the last few weeks. He has been in 4 different locations after not having much at all for the last year and a half. He has really started to notice the different mentalities to COVID precautions/mask wearing in different parts of the country.
8:00 - KD was surprised by the strict mask mandates that were in place in Las Vegas when he and Tim were there for a conference.
11:00 - JLee is happy that the housekeeper at the hotel that KD stayed at felt empowered enough to enforce mask mandate policy.
14:30 - On a Southwest flight recently, KD heard the initial reactions of Southwest employees to a vaccine mandate.
17:00 - Tim mentions how some airlines offered early retirement to pilots during the pandemic and are now begging pilots to come back to work.
20:00 - KD wrote a post recently titled “Are you a jerk for sending an email at 9 pm?”. KD references a study where they looked at this and they found that receivers of late emails overestimated the quickness of response needed.
23:00 - JLee thinks that people in their mid-career won’t care when emails are sent and more senior employees may be more careful with their messaging.
25:30 - If the future of remote work offers more flexibility, Tim thinks that email send time doesn’t matter as much anymore (with caveats).
28:45 - There are folks out there that are very anti-after hours emails.
32:00 - Tim doesn’t understand the people that want to have their cake and eat it too. How are we going to be working flexibly and then also defining after hours?
37:30 - JLee thinks it’s a power move to opt out of group messages, like group texts or chain emails. KD thinks it’s better to opt out instead of not participating at all.
