I truly hate video meetings

[MissB]

Well, mostly when I decide to clean my nose during a call. Sigh.

1. True, but I love them because I don't have to put my pants on...

I can also work on other stuff during the boring speeches.

2. that would never work for me

I have to wear pants. Sometimes I have to get up and close the doors to my office, so my pets don't decide to meow or bark in my face.

I would totally forget if I managed to not put pants on.

3. I think they should be the future in the corporate world. I argued for them for years

before i retired but was always overruled by people who just loved flying around the country doing what we called "meet and greet" meeting with direct reports. Take them to lunch or dinner for a free meal - talk a lot of BS, then leave the next day tp go home. Spend a lot of money for nothing, run up a bar tab, fill out a voucher (one of the primary reasons for Administrative Asst.) and then talk about making our numbers - how damn phoney can you get? I never slept good in hotel/motels and airports suck - some people seemed to love the air miles and getting upgraded on flights.

Corporate America is pretty much BS - it's a wonder half of the businesses continue to exist.
