I am remote. Is this overused phrase a way for supervisors and companies to have surveillance since we aren’t in the office? For context, I got a request to create a PowerPoint presentation. I said ok this is my draft… Take a look and if there are any key things to change reply and let me know.
Now the supervisor replies with this zoom meeting request and CC’s 3 other colleagues who have no relevance or connection to this PPT.
It seems like every small request or task that can easily be done by me, always turns into this “wow let’s discuss via a zoom call” and “let’s connect ASAP”. No thanks. Just read it over and tell me it’s fine. We don’t need to analyze everything to death and have endless zoom meetings.
Anyone also have a supervisor or company culture like this? It’s exhausting. A 1 hour task becomes endless emails and calls for weeks. They’re all boomers. I am part of the younger staff so I just prefer to get things done (not even 100% quality) and move on.
