Are we using Zoom meetings excessively now versus pre-COVID?

As we’ve lost some control of what others are doing.

Using it to hold people more accountable, when an email would be sufficient.

Which leads to longer work hours…

“I wonder what Chris is doing, he’s not active on Slack again, I’ll send him a reoccurring Zoom invite for 9, 1 and 4, just to make sure he’s around (and you know…working).”

Getting into a groove can be challenging when working from home, especially if there’s already disruptions around us, but having multiple, frivolous Zoom meeting checkpoints, just to keep tabs during one’s day, can suck the life out of our productivity.

Hopefully, you’re not falling victim to the Zoom madness.
