Workers distracted by office chit chat are pretending to be in Zoom meetings
This cracks me up but I don’t blame them. There are many times I don’t want to be bothered by office coworkers and I’m glad I work from home 95% of the time.
If you’ve ever found yourself stuck with a gabbing coworker who makes it difficult to work, you’re not alone. And if you’ve taken extreme measures to get peace and quiet, you have company too. Employees worldwide have found a solution that lets them avoid seeming like party poopers by telling colleagues—or in some cases, family members or friends—to be quiet and to stop bothering them. They merely use a video of a random meeting to pretend they are busy so others assume they don’t have time to talk. - via MSN
