Zoom CEO says Zoom meetings hinder innovation and debate, wants employees back in the office
zdnet.com
Zoom, the videoconferencing platform that profited substantially from remote work during the pandemic, is now asking employees to return to the office. Its CEO, Eric Yuan, claims Zoom meetings don't let people build trust or be innovative.
[...]
Yuan explained that trust is essential "for everything," and he finds it hard to build not only that but also innovation and debates over Zoom.
"Quite often, you come up with great ideas, but when we are all on Zoom, it's really hard," Yuan said, according to Insider. "We cannot have a great conversation. We cannot debate each other well because everyone tends to be very friendly when you join a Zoom call."

Him and his buddies must have large investments in commercial real estate. I can't possible think of another reason why he would willingly tank the company. Make as many short-term gains as possible then bail.
Her, personally, cannot handle remote communication methods and is projecting his inability onto everyone else. People that make it to CEO if large companies are used to in person communication without any possible recording of their behavior as they berate coworkers.
He is complaining about everyone being nice on zoom. He wants to not be nice.
You sleuthed it out, Holmes!
This isn’t going to rank the company. It’s going to improve the company’s karma. Detatching from the least valuable use cases for your product is a good move because nothing fuels performance better than meaning, and customers who truly benefit from your product are a source of meaning, hence morale, hence attracting the best candidates, etc.
He’s exhibiting a trait known as ”honor” here, and it’s a successful strategy.
What the fuck are you going on about chief
Some bullshit about company karma lol
