They were trying to create continuity and stability with everything working against them. voice-verified

And also people were incredibly worried about getting sick, having the people in their lives get sick, or in many cases got sick and were, you know, voice-verified

concerned about recovery, school interruptions, this whole host of things that many people were anticipating would be resolved clearly by now. voice-verified

And so a couple of months ago, particularly as the vaccine rollout gained steam, offices became more confident about their return to office plans. voice-verified

I think people were really prepping for a much more organized, congruent, you know, we're back at it. voice-verified

You know, we're going back to work in whatever shape that's going to take. voice-verified

Though, of course, people have been working like crazy this entire time. voice-verified

But I think people were anticipating a little bit more shared certainty right about now that the Delta variant has made things consistently uncertain again. voice-verified

Yes. voice-verified

Certainly, and we've been hearing this now for well over a year, that a day stacked with Zoom calls doesn't necessarily achieve anything tangible. voice-verified

And so finding those ways, figuring out what it is you're trying to accomplish in these calls, what it is you're personally trying to convey, and then not worrying so much about making sure that you get to talk 14 times and that voice-verified

everyone sees you. voice-verified

But you know, being sure that you get your point across, either through using the chat function, if you're not able to interject on the actual video call, or following up with a colleague or a manager afterwards via email or a phone call, you know, don't don't worry if it doesn't all happen in the meeting, essentially. voice-verified
