To be honest, I think this is a sign that the company really isn't experimenting, and probably won't figure out how to stay fully remote post-pandemic.

The best thing my company did was host a single "async week". Absolutely no video calls, only async. A lot of communication shifted after that week.

For example, my group has eradicated "round robin" calls, where individuals share their status or whatever. Instead, you create a card on a doc that's mostly a kanban board. That card just links to notes in another doc. So... we basically have an agenda system that: a.) keeps regular meetings on point quickly, and b.) keeps notes of what's been decided. We wouldn't have figured this out without ripping off the band-aid and forcing everyone to do it differently for a week.
