Imagine attending a meeting with your supervisor expecting the meeting to be about one thing, and it turns out to be about something completely different. You suddenly start feeling nervous. Maybe there's an HR advisor there wanting to discuss a work incident. Maybe you're being asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement, and you worry about what that means. Maybe you're in a meeting with Manulife about long-term disability, and they're asking you to sign a document that you're not sure is in your best interest.
When APSA members made the move to remote work due to the pandemic, our IT staff quickly adopted Zoom, a video conferencing platform that made the mandatory changes much more viable. Zoom feels like a blessing and sometimes a curse. We can meet and stay connected, yet we all come up against back-to-back meetings on the platform, and many of us experience what's been dubbed "Zoom fatigue".
Why do we find video meetings so tiring?
