Anyone else staring at their corporate counterparts continuing to hold 30 person Zoom calls with everyone on video? Do people really think this is *remotely* productive? To keep their “culture”?

Yes. It’s remotely productive to keep our culture. We’re having a blast at least once a week seeing everyone’s faces and hearing their voices. It’s helped us more than we would have guessed.

Noted : I am referencing more of the daily ones. But I can definitely see your point here if it’s done right.

Yes! Every morning! Now everyone listens to minute daily updates from projects they have no involvement in. 🙄

I guess the world DOES need consultants...

I get what you you’re saying, but do think that some may struggle with WFH, and having a standing daily is something that provides people with a bit of a rally, or reminder that we’re all in this together. I don’t hate it. Now, if we could move it to 10am instead of 9...

I think video zoom calls are more engaging. When looking at a room full of people at an in-person meeting I see people playing with their phones, fiddling with the statue, thumbing through magazines or books, drawing on paper rather than taking notes or writing a fiction novel or poem or song, head down in arms, head and back leaning with two legs of the chair on the ground drooling with eyes rolling back. When I look at a zoom meeting I see straight posture, large wide eyes, and staring straight at the camera. Which is better?? IDK

Partners at my (law) firm are keeping a very tight watch on who’s got work and who hasn’t.

I know you probably make a living criticizing company culture but in this case I think it is justified.

IMO They should probably start thinking outcome-based instead of busy-based (if that’s what you’re saying they’re doing)

Generally curious how many companies offer phone reimbursement? My last gig did not but the current one does. Legally it seems, all employers are required to do so if we use our phone in literally any capacity (video call, slack, teams, emails etc). How prevalent is the issue of not reimbursing phone dues?

So recently my SO has been accusing me of being in control of when we are intimate (sex and cuddling). She says that every time she wants to I say no - and whenever I want to - she says yes. So it's by default doing whatever I want when I want. It's a gross exaggeration of what's happening - but does anyone ever deal with something like this? How do you say no to something like that - without your partner thinking you're just looking out for yourself or you're controlling?
