Interesting, I would never have expected anyone to feel the need of recreating this particular piece of office life in a remote setting.

- wsc981 4y agoAs an employer I’d like to know how much time my employees spend in the restroom each day, so I can only applaud this suggestion.

- oplaadpunt 4y agoI don't think it's that terrible. The little jokes lighten the mood, and make it feel more real and in-person. Online meetings have a tendency towards formalism in my experience
- ClassyJacket 4y agoI don't understand how this is better than simply sending the person a message.
- Test0129 4y agoI've realized that extroverts are really, really damaged by the remote work setting. The word "fun" gets thrown around a lot but to me the reason remote is so great is because I don't have to play make-believe with my coworkers. That being said this suggestion is hilarious. I would imagine people are auto-muted in the restroom channel so it seems like the ideal place to sit yourself if you're required in zoom all day. It's totally valid. I often get my best thinking done in the bathroom.
