>>It bears mentioning, however, that I have been remote for a good while, but now have _so many more meetings_ that it isn’t even funny anymore.
This ^^^. The girlfriend and I have both worked remote for years. Since her company did wfh company-wide, there has been a huge uptick in meetings. Also, for some reason companies seem to think 'video' calls are better then voice. Given we did business for almost a century with just voice (telephone) I find it rather odd. Maybe its just the novelty factor of playing with 'zoom' backgrounds ??
