I wfh and have been for over a decade (not because of COVID). Only saw my coworkers once a year at annual Christmas party. Most years, I didn’t go to that shit because…no.
We have a new supervisor who fucking INSISTS on doing Zoom meetings. This is the first time in 10 years. All of our prior, and infrequent, meetings were done by conference call (loved it).
I pushed back on these stupid Zoom meetings by not turning on my webcam.
She comments on it.
I point it to the ceiling, the wall, the back of my computer.
She comments on not being able to see my face (eye roll).
Sup says these waste of time zoom meetings are good for the team.
Fuck the team. We’ve been good for a long time without them.
She’s a lonely older lady with nothing going on in life besides the job. I have a MILLION other things to do and an actual social life with real live people in it that I actually LIKE.
WFH also means “I don’t want to see you mother suckers in real life”
WHY DO PEOPLE PUSH THIS STUPID ZOOM CRAP? If THEY need to socialize, go join a meet up and leave the rest of us alone.
sigh.
