Time to Ditch Those Awful Zoom Calls, CEOs Say (npr.org)

I am so tired of hearing what CEO's want. As a worker bee, I want to work from home. I want human contact with my family and friends. Co-workers, not so important.

Not to mention, I don't have to spend hours every day in traffic driving too and from work, I don't have to pay for the gas, it doesn't pollute the environment and not to mention, I don't have to sit in a cubicle that recirculates air to the point that when one person gets sick, the whole floor falls like dominoes.

So instead of whining like a bunch of petulant children about how there's no "creative combustion", these overpaid complainers need to suck it up and do what's best for the mental and physical health of the people that work for them, and do what's best for the communities who's resources they consume to generate a profit. Just sayin..


For those who read the comments to see if the article is worth reading, the original title of the NPR article is much cuter:

“From The Folks Who Brought You Boring Meetings: CEOs Want To Ditch Sterile Zoom Calls”


I think that title is more fitting.
