Sat through another Zoom meeting today, a so-called training that turned out to be nothing more than a couple of people sharing a slide show online and reading it word for word as seventy other people watched. This sort of thing is very aggravating to me because common sense says that if all you're going to do is read the text of a slide show, then don't force seventy other people to sit through it. Just send them a copy of the slide show and let them read it themselves. You reading it out loud isn't going to help anyone to understand it better, but you are wasting time for a lot of people who could be doing other things and who could read the slide show themselves in probably half the time that the meeting took. I do wonder why it is that on the job, so often common sense is left out in the cold and people keep on doing silly things that don't really make sense. I know that their hearts are in the right place and they're just trying to do what they're supposed to do, but it would be nice if every once in a while we could all see some common sense rather than being forced to sit there and listen to someone else read words that we're perfectly capable of reading on our own, at a time and in a place that are much more convenient and practical for us.
