That was my admittedly uncharitable interpretation of the article subject’s preference for online meetings. They reported missing a lot of in-person meetings because of parental responsibilities, and the article suggests they are therefore unfairly disadvantaged.
If anything, it seems to me like they have a fairly reasonable employer and working environment.
- watwut 5y agoOnline makes it waay easier to manage parental responsibilities vs meetings. Mostly because in person variant os comparably absurdly wasteful. It don't block you only during meeting, but both before and after. Online also makes meetings more effective, people are less likely to go forever and waste everybody time. And, when they go forever, you use their empty blabbing for some chores. So, yeah, you loose disadvantage at no cost to actual work effectivity.
- mypastself 5y agoOh, I was in no way defending in-person meetings. I do take issue with the article’s implication that its subject’s perpetual tardiness (presumably tolerated by their employer and co-workers) is the result of discriminatory workplace environment.
