[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I am an over-sharer like a PP but agree that I don't like forcing people to respond.  This is the conundrum with remote work that everyone talks about, how we don't feel connected to each other and the casual pre-meeting chit chat doesn't happen.  [/b]

I personally like hearing that you spent the weekend at your child's music competition, or you and your spouse hiked Old Rag, or even that you're in mourning because the Commanders lost.  It's some tiny piece of humanity that makes for three-dimensional colleagues.  I don't want to be your best friend, but if we work together 40+hrs per week, knowing a bit about each other can make our working relationship stronger.[/quote]

This is it exactly.

I tend to err on the side of fewer team building questions because I used to manage an employee who felt VERY strongly that it was none of anyone's business, but I prefer one that aren't personal. Less "share something about you" and more "what do you think of when you think of X?" or "share a picture or song." [/quote]
