The zoom bullshit is coming to a close quickly
Screw zoom
I still have city inspectors trying to use it. That’s no inspection
Easy for me. But total crap
Nothing like being there
Yeah, let’s all force people back to the office. The economy needs people to waste time and gas being stuck 1 to 2 hours each way in traffic …
… Just to come into an office and mask up for 8-9 hours a day.
The indoor mask requirements that most offices have probably won’t be going away soon, regardless of what the Chinese Democrat Controllers have to say. Too many Karens and busybodies to enforce mask wearing.
1. They are best used for short meetings and/or meetings with participants who are spread out over a large geographic area. If your organization is holding a meeting and the participants are all within the organization and located nearby, the meeting should be held in person.
2. When I'm a participant in a web meeting in a setting that would have been conducted as a formal business meeting before COVID, I always dress appropriately and even go to my office so I can appear on the screen in a professional setting.
3. Anyone who has demonstrated a woeful lack of consideration and/or engaged in irritating behavior during web meetings over the last year has permanently lost all credibility in my eyes. That means the stupid dog on your lap during the meeting is more professional than you are. It means get the kids the hell out of the room when you're in a web meeting. And it means I will NEVER do business with the jackass who sits in on my business networking group web meetings with his iPhone constantly pinging and interrupting the meeting while others are speaking.
4. Web meetings should be held as a matter of convenience and should never be an excuse for laziness.
5. Meetings should be held either in person or online -- rarely ever BOTH. Unless the meeting is mainly a presentation and not an active, engaged discussion, mixing live participants with online participants doesn't work well at all, in my experience.
