Have they also considered the fact that I’m literally hopping from one meeting to the next with zero minutes of downtime? I mean when I was in the office we at least had to walk to a new room, now I’m always a few minutes late to the next meeting and literally just signed out of the previous one.
I used to also take a lunch break, now I eat at my desk during meetings.
Yes, and that it's 100% business. Hard to get a good social conversation in a remote meeting with 5+ people, so the real meeting starts right away, and when it's done everyone disconnect. Compared to a physical meeting where people will talk in smaller groups before and after.
It's a cultural choice. In my team, standup takes 30 minutes because we spend the first 20 chit-chatting. It may seem like a waste of time but honestly it's a great mental kick-off for the day.
