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.”
This guy words his argument as though he’s upset his product prevents him from having non-recorded temper tantrums at junior employees.
Yeah that’s probably the most likely reason for this. Shitty managers bothered by the fact that yelling at employees over zoom makes it easy to report this abusive behaviour to HR.
