I agree that switching to asynchronous communication as default is critical for remote/hybrid offices.<p>However, I've found it very difficult to champion this change at my workplace. Many (most?) people don't like communicating over chat. There seems to be an overwhelming preference to schedule video meetings, which don't get recorded or notated. I wonder if we'll get better at this over time, or not - in which case, will this become cause for a "return to work" mandate.
