I think it is more a generational thing. Some are adapting to it better than other like my DD boss who is 60.
My adult kids one a millennial one not though only 5 years apart in age have adapted well to video meetings vs in person. It is the aging that seem to have the most problems adapting and gripes according to what they are sharing and some having a difficult time rolling with it an adapting. My kids grew up with IMing questions on all fronts including homework and touching base. They both in middle school worked on video laptop presentations live. Me we had a weird thing that connected to a mainframe with huge circular tapes to SAVE.
Both my kids jobs have IMing software and the ability to talk to their co workers via their laptops and headset. It is normal to them.
my son has decided to return home during his work Remote. Safety in family vs alone as has his girlfriend. Video makes it seamless for his line of work. He is working with2 of his employees to make a hiring video to hit social media that they are hiring presently which is a notion lost on many given our counties circumstances. 3 people working together via video remotely. I find the youth remarkable given the circumstance. They quickly adapt
my Dd firm where she is a computer engineer doesn’t do video. Ever. They do voice and screen sharing. They are all engineers and comfy with tech. Today she multitasked and built a new app for those in the field while in A 3 hour meeting. She is great at multitasking.
Her firm a fortune 100 went remote before any state went shelter In place. They are above and beyond critically essential. The firm had the insight to not have all of their employees go down together and to separate them. If the firm goes down so does Illinois and 4 states on the east coast and WDC.
their attitude from being displaced is Let’s Roll. Youth. A challenge to them.
me I get tired watching them
I had some nasty words here for you, but I decided that the nice people in this thread didn't need the drama in here.
Welcome to my ignore list.
