Mostly I feel sorry for people whose lives are so empty that they feel the need to fly across the world to have a conversation about work. Stay home! Zoom works great and you can go for a walk with your spouse after you log off instead of drinking alone in a hotel bar.
- com 2y agoThe crucial conversations occur between human beings who have met or worked often enough to have created a social connection. Think about how absurd it is to argue that Zoom is enough to sustain family or intimate relationships over the long haul. Zoom isn’t enough. Having that walk with a potential client, that colleague or that supplier might well be.
- listenallyall 2y ago"Zoom works great" - not for cultivating real relationships (friends, business, family, etc) it doesn't
- ElevenLathe 2y agoHow is this an argument for leaving your family behind to go work in an identical office across the country?
- listenallyall 2y agoif you truly believe Zoom works great then you should be perfectly happy Zoom calling your family from whatever workplace you choose to go visit
- ElevenLathe 2y agoWell, you got me. No way to weasel out of that logic. No hard feelings, and have a lucrative life!
