Long-Distance Worklife - A Hybrid & Remote Work Podcast
05/08/23 • 17 min
Marisa Eikenberry and Wayne Turmel tackle more pet peeves sent in by listeners, including one from @NikSoro about the annoyance of receiving messages without checking someone's Slack status. The hosts discuss strategies for managing notifications, setting boundaries, and communicating effectively in virtual teams. They also delve into a topic from Nola Simon on webcam usage in virtual meetings and explore the psychology behind camera-on versus camera-off meetings. Whether you're a remote worker or a team leader, this episode offers practical advice on how to navigate common communication challenges and build a more productive and supportive virtual work environment. Tune in to learn how to balance availability and focus, manage expectations, and foster respectful communication in your remote team.
Key Takeaways- Checking someone's Slack status before sending a message can help you respect their boundaries and avoid unnecessary interruptions.
- Setting boundaries, such as turning off notifications during specific hours or using an icon in your status to indicate when you're away from your desk, can help you manage distractions and increase your productivity.
- Respecting others' needs and preferences is essential for building trust and fostering healthy communication in virtual teams.
- Using a webcam during virtual meetings can enhance connection and collaboration, but it's important to be mindful of the potential for webcam fatigue and to respect individual preferences for camera-on or camera-off meetings.
- Effective communication in virtual teams requires discipline, initiative, and a commitment to living one's values. By setting clear expectations, managing distractions, and respecting others' needs, remote workers and team leaders can build a more productive and supportive virtual work environment.

Long-Distance Worklife - A Hybrid & Remote Work Podcast
10/17/22 • 18 min
Quiet quitting is a problem. When put on the spot, most remote team leaders agree that it's a problem. Remote workers are vulnerable to it - they can hide their failures or slip-ups from their team leader or colleagues - and that's where the problems start. Wayne and Marisa share what quiet quitting is, why it's happening, and how you can spot (and handle) quiet quitting in your organization.

Long-Distance Worklife - A Hybrid & Remote Work Podcast
11/28/22 • 23 min
For many remote workers, seeing an instant message with nothing but “Hi” in it is a huge pet peeve. Which is why many are beginning to talk about something called the No Hello Club. Wayne and Marisa discuss what the No Hello Club is, why it’s important to be cognizant of the medium you’re communicating with, and why “treat others the way you want to be treated” is actually bad advice when it comes to communication.

Podcast Q&A
Why did you start this show?
Our company, The Kevin Eikenberry Group, has been teaching companies and individuals about working and leading remotely for almost ten years. My co-host, Wayne Turmel, has been teaching about remote work for 15+ years. We wanted to bring that knowledge to a podcast medium as well as continuing to answer questions that people are asking now that remote work has become more prevalent.
What do you hope listeners gain from listening to your show?
We hope that leaders find tips and suggestions that can help their remote and hybrid teams become more effective and productive. We also hope that teammates learn some of the ways that they can thrive while working in a remote or hybrid environment. When people become better leaders, everyone wins.
Which episode should someone start with?
One of the best episodes to learn more about us and what we're all about is to start with our first episode Welcome to The Long-Distance Worklife. Other great episodes include our episode on Quiet Quitting and our episode with Suzanne Lucas about how remote work has changed human resources.
Which have been your favourite episodes so far?
Our episode where we busted some remote work myths was a lot of fun to record as well as our No Hello Club episode. Marisa came in with the questions on that one and hearing both of our takes and dialogue made it a really engaging episode.
Which episode are you most proud of?
The Quiet Quitting episode. I think it was important that we highlighted that quiet quitting wasn't a new phenomenon, just a new name, and some of the ways that leaders can engage with their team members to prevent quiet quitting in their organization.
What is your favourite other podcast that isn't yours?
Pilar Orti's Virtual Not Distant, Matt Gilhooly's The Life Shift.
