I have time in my Outlook calendar to “work”, which actually means no meetings with zoom in. Yes, virtual meetings grow like uncontrolled cancer cells, spreading all over the body and complicating the work. When meetings are virtual, we can spend less time and effort thinking about who should participate and what will happen. Because almost universal telework leads to an irrational spread of virtual meetings The transition to universal telework seems to be related to the metastasis of zoom sessions. If this option is left off, the increased meetings will follow the same path as email, which will take time and destroy the soul. As for travel time, virtual meetings are associated with less friction. If asked, most people will say that endless, consecutive virtual meetings are a waste of energy and a performance killer. We can book meetings back or accept invitations to meetings because we are not physically trying to get to another place. No one is planning to spend their days in zoom meetings. One of the assumptions is that virtual meetings are logistically easier than personal meetings. In most universities, finding meeting rooms for more than three people can be surprisingly difficult. First of all, a social entrepreneur must find a solution when everyone has more meetings. More interagency collaboration means more meetings. So we may not be able to invite more people to meetings than usual.
