From the ground it looks like the bosses are always yakking it up and then occasionally reminding us underlings to hurry up and deliver whatever loosely defined objectives you talked at each other about. Also, when we do deliver whatever you asked for, thanks for taking a week to look at it before telling us you changed all the requirements without telling us in one of your meetings.

You won't hear me say this often (because of my job) but videocalls ruined meetings. True, sometimes it's quicker to look at faces on a screen for 30 minutes WHILE reading emails. Sometimes the email trail is so long that is should have been a quick videocall instead. Sometimes I cold-call people because I know they won't read the email I send. Also, 30 minutes meeting? Too short! No time for chitchats. All work and no coffee makes ew. I want in-person meetings back. Let me stretch my legs! I'd love to hold a stick and discuss how to plan the planning! I would love to know how tall people are in person! and yes I AM VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT IT
