  Somebody should tell them about that software you can use for video teleconferences in case that opens up options for remote work. Can’t remember what it’s called though.

    The one that is going to use all the data for AI training? They are not that stupid. ;-)

      To be fair, I’m certain they have a way to, like, exclude internal conversations from that. They’d be foolish not to have a system to disable collection on some accounts/calls

    No, those types of apps are obviously not useful for remote work, or else they would use one. Back to work.

  That’s just bad PR. I can’t imagine the potential profits are worth the risk.

    It’s been proven over and over remote work retains top talent and makes people better at their work. And the “productivity loss” is covered by the fact that people maybe get less done in eight hours, but work longer to make up for the productivity they lost to taking more breaks.

    But American capitalism has to remind the workers that their misery is part of the point.

      I’m not sure there is any productivity loss, I work way more efficiently at home

    More likely, they’ve reached critical mass and are now using this as a downsizing move. They know a % will quit. Will reduce the number they have to float until eventual layoffs.

  Is their software so bad that they can’t even use it for its intended purpose?

    I personally really don’t like zoom. Apparently still useful for mass layoff calls

    Why was it even popular in the first place?

  This is on top of the changes to their Terms of Service that enables them to use anything on your calls to train their AI and scrap any customer data.

    I know a lot of therapists and doctors that use Zoom…

  Where is Zoom even HQed? These articles are shitty.

  This is just epic shortsightedness.
