I'm at one of those companies where we're forced to be in the office. NO ONE TALKS TO EACH OTHER unless absolutely necessary for work. We get on Zooms to talk

We get on Zooms to talk. Even with the person 1 cubicle over.
- dabockster 10mo ago> We get on Zooms to talk. Even with the person 1 cubicle over. Who normalized this?!!
- Rohansi 10mo agoI know it happens when you're working with people who may be at home or another location.
- IshKebab 10mo agoYeah but not if you just want to talk to one person who's a few metres away. That's such bizarre behaviour I don't really believe it.
- zmmmmm 10mo agoI actually do find there is a subset of meetings that are far more productive on Zoom. We can be voice chatting on one screen, share another screen and both be able to type, record notes, pull up side research without interrupting the conversation. It's a bit closer to co-working than a meeting but it hits a sweetspot for me.
- cloverich 10mo ago> We get on Zooms to talk. Even with the person 1 cubicle over. But why? Required? Culture? Maybe it's the company?
- jimbokun 10mo agoWhy?
- drcxd 10mo agoGlad to see I am not the only HN users that work in such companies.
