      The people who zone out will do so in person as well. I am that person.

      Or sometimes it’s wise to filter out when some of your colleagues are filling out meeting time with nonsense. You only get brain fatigue and get nothing for it.

          In my experience, meetings are 90% nonsense and usually could have been summarised in a single email.

          Oh, everyone but themselves. Some people have next to no self-awareness, you see. And if you have no clue what I’m talking about, chances are you’re one of them.

            I know what you’re talking about. But if you’re the only one in the room not paying attention, maybe you’re the problem?

              Who said I’m the only one? I’m not.

                It was more of a rhetorical question, as I have no idea what your situation is. Also, you have no idea what my situation is.

                  Of course, which is kind of my point here. But your rhetorical question only works if the situation is very specific, which is weird given that - as you point out - you have no insight into my situation at work. To summarize, you have no case.

                    I can ask whatever I want, and I’m not trying to make a “case.” This is a chat room, not a court room. Calm down.

      Sorry people are piling on you! Tbh, I think your comment is more or less innocuous. I think it never helps to dig into it when people downvote lol

      I really don’t think you deserved a lot of the harsher type comments, just my two cents

        I appreciate your comment. I wasn’t trying to be all “you should work, kids these days!” Or anything like that. Obviously I could have just ignored them, but sometimes we gotta die on the hill.

        I think a lot of people don’t have a good working environment, and this hit home for them.

        I get that people space out. Everyone does it at some point. My takeaway from all this is that I’m really glad I work with a group of people who respect each other and really want to help their fellow coworkers do the job they’ve been paid to do, so we all can pay rent.
