It is just human culture. Being physically present in a time and place implies availability for others in the same time and place. Not doing so is by default an act of social aggression, which needs explanations and apologies. On the other hand, not being available for activities in a different time and place is considered normal. It is not impossible to explain everyone that even if you are physically there you need to be unavailable for a commitment elsewhere, but that is not what people will naturally think and be convinced of, especially people that expect to be given top priority by you (boss, spouse, children). So, as a minimum, you need to compromise between the remote meeting and your duties of attention to people that are physically near you. -- Vittorio Bertola | Head of Policy & Innovation, Open-Xchange vittorio.bertola@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Office @ Via Treviso 12, 10144 Torino, Italy
