    Christ they’re dumb. Here is a golden opportunity to protect your business and build great PR.

    As everyone else is pushing people back to the office, be the champion we’re all looking for, run the studies, offer incentives, anything to prove that working remotely is a viable alternative in a modern world.

    Then, expand the use cases, it’s not just WFH, but working on-site (for companies with manufacturing in different locations), working on the move for managers, emergency preparedness, and, of course, webinar/training.

    It’s not rocket science, just marketing.

    “Quite often, you come up with great ideas, but when we are all on Zoom, it’s really hard,” Yuan said, according to Insider. “We cannot have a great conversation. We cannot debate each other well because everyone tends to be very friendly when you join a Zoom call.”

    Wow, CEO calling their own product shit. Cool.

      Well, maybe they should take a page from the open source book and use text as a medium more often.

      If you want collaboration, use a chat room software with sub threads, like Slack. If you want announcements, email works, or a common chat room. If you want to present something, use a video meeting.

      So it sounds like the CEO doesn’t know how remote work actually should work. Which means they need to do more of it so they can effectively market their product.

    Imagine being so short sighted as to lambast the main selling point of your own product to the world.

    If even Zoom won’t use their own product, how are they supposed to persuade other people to?

    Translation from BBB (business buzzword bullshit) to English:

    CEO wants to look out on his domain and see his minions hard a work in the cube farm. He loves coming to work (because he does not have punch a clock) and want warm bodies to lecture to.

      That and they like sitting in their big castle, which they can only justify to shareholders by having the flinkies work there.

    For anyone that doesn’t get how incredibly stupid this is, imagine Coca-Cola mandates all its workers to drink Pepsi.

      Nah.

      Imagine Coca-Coca demanding its workers stop drinking coke because it’s unhealthy and tastes bad.
