My company just implemented a camera-on policy for every single Zoom call, regardless of the time or the reason. I’m an introvert and find back-to-back video calls absolutely draining, but now I’m being told it’s a performance issue if I don't show my face. They say it’s about engagement, but it’s actually about surveillance and control. I feel like I’m being watched every second of the day, and it’s making my social anxiety skyrocket. Is anyone else dealing with this kind of micromanagement?

I am the partner leading our local office lgbt group. What should I be doing to engage more with our people during this time? Zoom once a month only goes so far I think but I have run out of other ideas.

Hi! Can someone recommend a source for learning how do simple, fun music lessons on Zoom? I teach first grade and use music for my transitions. I would also like to play songs for them with my guitar, but am concerned it won’t sound good on zoom (the guitar, not my voice, which is bad, we established that long ago)

Is it just me or have you also noticed that during the endless back to back zoom/teams meetings, people drift away and not take down action points?

Why are people not good at ending zoom calls? I feel like I’m always the person who throws in the closing statement (I.e, ok well sounds good is that all? Have a nice day! This was helpful thanks Karyn..looks like we’re at top of the hour already) 🤦🏻‍♀️

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

Curious what firms are doing to keep people socializing during COVID. I miss my coworkers but I'm sick of zoom calls.

I used to work down the hall from Zoom in the WeWork on Madison and 51st, who knew they were gonna blow up like this wow

Anyone else getting conflicting messages on whether it is permissible to use Zoom with federal agencies? Some are insisting on using it (MSPB), some are saying absolutely can't use it (DHS, USDA).

Happy Wednesday! I am trying to plan with our AP and climate lead on what we can do in distance learning as a school wide event.

Hey everyone,
I was wanting to know if it’s possible to start a career as a Project Manager in the marketing/advertisement world? I have a few years of PM experience without the “official title” of Project manager. I am close to finishing my Grow with Google Project Management Program as I am now on course 6/6. I’m not looking for any kind of mid-level position. Simply trying to get my foot in the door as a PM for the marketing industry and wanting to know if that’s a realistic goal.

Would people be up for a salary discussion thread? A way to give transparency for UK roles.

1. Current title
2. Years of experience (YOE)
3. Location
4. Base salary
5. Bonuses/Equity (optional)
6. Industry (optional)
7. Tech stack (optional)
