Seven hours of zoom conferences is mentally draining. They’re great and all, but I think we need to chill out a little bit.

Is the idea for us to keep pretending we are working and fabricating useless work to display our tremendous leadership skills in this time of need?Literally, all I’m doing these days is just zoom meetings, not actual work.

It’s so much busy work to say “we’re all here in this moment what can we do?”

Had a meeting yesterday that was supposed to be about 2020 planning for a client whose work won’t launch until 2021. But the team wanted to go rewrite all the context around next years work to lean into the moment now, rather than remember we still have a very good brand in front of us that will exist far beyond this.

All zoom all day.

As things start to open up fully, some of my institutional clients are sending notices that we are expected to do X activity over zoom from here on out (things we used to do in person). Clearly it’s a cost cutting measure. Anyone else feel like filing for telephonic appearance so the insurance company can save a buck isn’t going to sit well with judges who prefer in person attendance? I hope they deny all of them so my billables don’t suffer. Less travel = more desk bs I have to do to hit quota

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?

It’s so nice that every agency laying off people, have those left standing (and other agencies) trying to hustle jobs for their unemployed friends, but there are also a ton of people who were unemployed prior to Covid...so no severance, job hunting lot longer, and not earning income for longer time...hurting even MORE due to quarantine.
