Glad I'm not a stockholder, since the CEO basically says their only product, remote connectivity, stifles innovation and connection. What a world.
Sure, that's the sensationalist and reactionary headline, but I think the real lesson to learn from all this is that with remote work, like many things, moderation is key. The CEO is not implying "innovation" and "getting to know each other" is necessary for every meeting because it isn't. So what he's really saying is whenever those two aspects are necessary, Zoom won't suffice.
If your CEO of zoom you have to believe in the product your company makes. Its the basic requirement. When he says this, its a slap in the face to every engineer and worker who has dedicated their life to making zoom a good product.
Its like the time the dunking donuts ceo said he doesn't like donuts on Marketplace.
No, it's like Dunkin' CEO saying that donuts are bad for you... Much worse than personally not liking them
