Yes! One of the greatest advantages of the "Zoom" age (well technically it is Teams for me) is that when there is a big meeting with 10+ attendees that you find completely useless, you can just silently turn off your video, and do something else: clean your room, do the dishes, have a short workout, wait for the meeting to be over while laying on the bed, do some work that you find meaningful, or browse job postings.
If the meeting was in person, I could do none of that, and I'd have an awkward chat with my boss about why I seemed disinterested at the meeting.
- danielovichdk 4y agoYes I also just hanged out at home and let the leaders in the team do the talking. Because the proces is so broken here, they don't just talk objectives, they talk super details which is totally useless for people that don't have the same domain knowledge. And close to nothing is written down, so people will not know what to do when they are done debating. It's out of this world crazy. Didn't think I would ever experience such a wild process
- jrs235 4y agoThis is why work/life balance and mental health improved for remote workers. While remote workers were disengaged during those meetings, they at least felt somewhat productive and had a way to cope. When they are all forced back into the office and can't escape these fiascos their mental health will nose dive and the great resignation will continue until employers "figure it out".
