Free Falling Foxes 780 Posted 2 March Report Share Posted 2 March Online team meetings. Perhaps I'm getting to be a miserable old git but to try and have a bit of 'fun', colleagues suggest dressing - up for them. We have had; everyone wears a hat, everyone wears something orange and the latest - wear your dressing gown! For the latter, I asked if my female colleagues would be wearing baby doll nighties underneath. Cue a later bollocking from my (female) manager 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Nalis 5,585 Posted 2 March Popular Post Report Share Posted 2 March Zoom / Team calls that involve forced fun are the worst, somehow worse than in person but luckily they seem to be on the wane. If you enjoy dressing up for Zoom or cocktail making / meals on Teams then good for you but just bear in mind its not for everyone (I guess the same goes both ways). A friend had to attend a coffee morning by Zoom for an old friend's birthday. There were about 15 people on a call and the loudest 2 or 3 just overtook the conversation and she only got as far as a hello with the birthday girl as a result bar showing her face. You simply cant replicate the usual side chats you'd have at an in person get together as impromptu side rooms of Zoom to replicate it could be misintrepreted as rude. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was in a zoom call for my sisters 40th last week and there was about 25 different people or couples. Like you say, you can't have any kind of discussion, people try and talk to individuals and it doesn't work, because you can talk to someone individually like you would in a large group all in the same room. I don't mind the work zoom meetings. We don't do them too often and we don't piss about, and it is nice to see everyone. I feel emails and teams message can seem impersonal and something a bit blunt, so its nice to have a chat like you would in the office. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

UniFox21 7,664 Posted 11 March Report Share Posted 11 March When instead of discussing why they have their opinion or explaining it, people simply defend themselves by saying "it's my opinion" and get defensive when challenged by it. Don't share your opinion on a public forum if you aren't prepared to be challenged on it 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
