Study Finds 83% Of Zoom Calls Could�ve Been Memes

Researchers at the Center for Digital Efficiency have determined that the majority of workplace Zoom meetings serve no functional purpose beyond reminding employees their Wi-Fi is bad. The study, based on 4,000 corporate workers, concluded that 83% of virtual calls could have been replaced with a single meme, preferably featuring Baby Yoda or the distracted boyfriend template. In San Francisco, one startup attempted to innovate by conducting all-hands meetings entirely through TikTok duets, which paradoxically doubled productivity. Employees complain that Zoom calls mostly involve one manager speaking for 40 minutes while everyone else pretends to nod, occasionally typing �lol� in the chat to simulate engagement. Experts warn that Zoom fatigue has reached epidemic levels, with symptoms including compulsive background-blurring and an irrational hatred of the phrase �let�s circle back.� The report concludes that corporate communication may evolve beyond Zoom�but only if executives finally learn how to use the mute button. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
