Zoom CEO “Stop video conferencing and go to work”
Zoom is a video conferencing service using cloud computing that symbolizes a remote work environment that has emerged as a mainstream due to the Corona 19 crisis. The voice of Zoom CEO Eric Yuan at an in-house meeting was leaked, saying that it would be better if Zoom CEO Eric Yuan could not build a good relationship through video calls.
According to reports, at an in-house meeting held on August 3, he notified employees who live within 80 km of the company to come to work at least twice a week. He is said to have said that it was difficult to build a relationship of trust with each other on screen. He has hired a lot of new staff over the past few years, but he finds it difficult to build relationships of trust. He added that it was because participating in a video call would somehow make them friendly and prevent them from having serious conversations.
The twice-weekly work he said is something other tech companies are adopting as well. However, he said that the company that made remote work possible should stop working remotely because video calls cannot build a relationship of trust.
Aside from this, the movement itself is nothing special. Many tech companies require you to come to work. CEO Meta Mark Zuckerberg has made it mandatory to go to work three times a week, and reports have emerged that Apple has also started having employees go to work. Of course, there are cases where employees oppose compulsory attendance. At Amazon in the US, employees even went on strike to protest. Related information this placecan be found in
