I’m one of the remote-only employees at my company. My boss keeps scheduling our 1:1s in a meeting room instead of just doing a normal Zoom call from his desk or one of the soundproof pods.
He sits at the table and I’m on a massive wall screen, like I’m presenting to a board of directors instead of… talking to one guy about my work week. It’s just the two of us, and it feels incredibly awkward watching him look up at giant me, then down at his laptop, typing things, then back up again.
The audio is horrible since there is a big echo from the empty room.We already have hybrid meetings where people just join from their desks, so this feels like an unnecessary “conference room production” for a 1:1.
I’ve brought it up but he thinks this set up is best so he can share his screen easily…
It gives me anxiety knowing people outside the room can probably see (and likely hear) me from outside (glass) conference room while sitting at their desks. Also, since my audio is getting played through the conference room speaker… Just feels inappropriate for a 1:1.
Has anyone else dealt with this?
