Same. And for most people, I'm just not gonna book that time. It's time consuming (and sometimes awkward) to have one on one zoom chats with people in a way that a short conversation in the hallways isn't.
- allenu 6y agoThe act of having to book a meeting also just makes it feel so transactional. I have booked social meetings with other folks at work, and sometimes you have energy for it and sometimes you don't. The fact that the meeting is for a fixed time in your calendar and that you're on camera, makes it feel so formal too.
