Comment on Leaked Zoom all-hands: CEO says employees must return to offices because they can't be as innovative or get to know each other on Zoom

  The meetings I’m forced to go to at work almost always have nothing to do with my actual job, but do include the owner telling us how much money the company is making in chart and graph form for 20 minutes, which helpfully reminds me that I’m being severely underpaid.

  Yes, I am preparing my resume.

    My manager just told us our department is over budget on salary by $250k, because we were short staffed and everyone picked up the slack, but has been slow rolling cost of living increases.

    Dude’s fucked around, now he’s going to find out.

      Every position cut/not filled should mean an equivalent pay increase for everyone who has to pick up that slack, or that that slack is left where it is.

    I just get scheduled into meetings without my involvement or knowledge. Sometimes minutes before they’re due to start.

    I have a meeting scheduled for Monday. Even though I’m away on Monday and they can see I’m away on Monday in my calendar. I’m just not going to tell them, and see if they noticed that I don’t turn up.

  One of the advantages of working from home is you can have the meeting on in the background and get on with some real work. When it comes your time to speak you’ve lost maybe 5 minutes instead of an hour.
