    you have to reserve a conference room to take a zoom meeting (all meetings).

    Work in an office, they said. It will be easier for meetings, they said.

    It’s crazy how shortsighted and dumb companies are.

      It’s not that they’re shortsighted and dumb (well, many are, but that’s not why they’re spouting this BS), they know those reasons are full of shit, they just need some excuse that sounds better than “we signed a 4 year lease and so we’re going to make that your problem” or “the CEO is getting lonely and misses being able to walk around the office among all his minions”

      True. Even with like 20 - 30 meeting rooms there are always people posted up in all of them. Even if you reserve a desk or room, someone will be there.

      Their excuse is usually “I reserved a different one but someone’s in that one now.” So you have to take someone else’s, and they inevitably interrupt your meeting. At the beginning of this chain of room theft is probably an executive who doesn’t even know how to sign up for a room.

      Being at home is like 3x better now. I don’t care about free coffee or food. I buy exactly what I want at the supermarket.
