<p>There’s a difference between having foosball tables in the break room and having employees ask you about such important issues like raises over Facebook or a text message.</p>
<p>“hey boss cn i gt a raise plz like 60K/yr thx” just wouldn’t really move me to give the guy a raise vs. having him come in and make a case for why he should get a raise.</p>
<p>Not to mention a hell of a lot of communication is non-verbal and you lose that when you’re, well, not talking face to face (or at least video chatting). I worry of a future where people just send texts and messages all day instead of actually talking to people. Sorta like a scarier version of Idiocracy.</p>
