Zoom calls. What started off at the beginning of lockdown as a great way to stay connected to people, a handy tool to conduct your WFH meetings, the place for all those virtual pub quizzes and trivia nights, has now descended into a soulless, blank-stared hell. None of your colleagues have it in them to make small talk anymore. No one has any news anyway. Everyone has their cameras off because they are in bed and you stare at blank avatars as the disembodied voices of people you used to know drift and glitch around you. Basically it’s shit.
