Hey, Bill. Hey, man. He's talking about Zoom. This is like the Zoom meeting, or
she is.
Hey, man. I'm sick of Zoom. I don't want to jump on a Zoom call if I can make a
phone
call and people are really starting to lean into it because they're sick of
their boring
desk jobs and need face-to-face to liven up their afternoon. I recently, yeah,
I don't
get that. Like, it's becoming that thing, though, if they can't see you, it's
like you're
not on the phone. It's like I am on the phone. All right? I'm just going to sit
here with
my eyes closed as I listen to you. I bet all corporations, they're all going to
start every,
like, it's all going to be video conference because we want to be able to read
your face.
We want to see what your face is doing. Scan your face. Scan your retina. All
of that shit.
And just see if we can see any inconsistencies in the level of loyalty that we
demand here
as we deliver soul-sucking information and instructions to your side of the
room. Anyway,
I recently told someone, I don't have Zoom and opted to get on the phone. The
reaction over email
was loud and clear. They passively, aggressively made it seem as if we couldn't
accomplish what we
needed without it. Fuck the Zoom. Also, why is it assumed that I have it? Hey,
bitch,
come over to my house and install it or get the fuck out of my email. All right.
That was a lot of anger in there, but I understand what you're saying.
Yeah. The Zoom calls and all that. I got a couple people that are in the
corporate world
in my life and it just seemed, like, I just don't understand, like,
I don't feel like corporations value their employees as much as they're just
like,
we're just going to just burn them out, burn them out, burn them out, burn them
out.
We don't care about the turnover or anything. We're treating you like shit and
we're getting
every ounce of fucking work out of you that we can. And when you leave, we don't
give a fuck
because we'll just get someone else to replace you because we've destroyed all
the mom and pop places.
I don't know. That's just my opinion. And I feel like the Zoom call is another
way for them to,
like, gain information about where you live, how you're living, you know,
your commitment to the thing. The whole fucking thing is just creepy. All right.
Trial.
Dear Bill. But on the other side, I love a Zoom call as opposed to, like, if I
was in the corporate
world and you had to go to Hong Kong, it's like, why can't we just jump on a
Zoom? We're still face
to face. What is the fucking problem? You know, pollute the environment less.
Like, I think that
that's a good use of it, I would think. But, you know, if you guys are just,
you know, living close
by and this guy just says, hey, man, I just want to be on the phone. I don't
look at you. Why can't
you just say that? Listen, I don't like doing Zoom. If I'm going to be on the
phone, I want to be on
the phone. I don't want you to sit there looking at me. But I think what they,
maybe that's what
they like about it. Maybe they like the fact that you can't act like you're
paying attention when
you're not. Because you can fucking mute Zoom and you can mute a phone call.
But when you mute a phone
call, they don't, they don't know what the fuck you're doing. I mean, you
literally could be doing
anything. You'd be asleep. And they wouldn't know. And I don't think that they,
I think that they
like the control of Zoom. And I got to be honest with you, it would be nicer if
it would be, the world
would be a better place if more people kind of rebelled against shit like this.
At least push back
a little bit. Anyway.
