All my friends seem to be having a blast in quarantine either with their SO or roommates. I can’t help but feel lonely when we do group zoom calls and also feel a little resentful / jealous when I see them having fun on social media. I live alone so have been quarantining away at my parents house but the situation at home is not great. Any advice on how to better cope with this / not feel so bad thinking about how my friends have a “better” quarantine situation? TIA!

For a recent internship I did, I had a manager who from day 1 would never talk to me directly. She would only send me slack messages even though she was sitting directly next to me but she would have full blown convos w/ white co-workers? Was I missing something?

How have you approached being on camera during the extended WFH routine? Some people are ALWAYS on camera while others just dial into calls that they would normally be on Teams/Zoom/Skype/WebEx for. I go on camera from time to time, but not for every single call.

I’d be interested in learning everyone’s “guiding principles”.

Some have expressed interest in starting a meeting for this bowl, so I made a meeting ID on zoom. Before I schedule anything I wanted to pitch it to the group for thoughts on time and day and process

I also wanted to see if we could maybe use the group to create the meeting format. We have plenty of great writers in here, maybe some would like to take a stab at the script?

At the end of the day I want to help facilitate not dictate, so would y’all’s thoughts!!
