    It’s pretty bad when your CEO disparages your product that much. It’s like if Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said they’d be switching to Google Workspace because Microsoft Teams was inefficient and difficult to use.

    Absolutely scathing.

      Isn’t this like the second time the ceo said something like that? I think he probably needs to be unseated from his position.

        Zoom does legitimately suck though, but not for the reasons he thinks. Moreso from a privacy perspective.

        Let him keep shit-talking Zoom until my employers switch to a better alternative!

      Unless he doesn’t believe zoom is intended to solve the problem of remote work.

      There’s a difference in scale of making a zoom call occasionally to add flexibility and having your entire business run off zoom for its day to day. Some things you’d want to solve for in the second but not the first case: Remote learning, team building events, snack distribution.

      Offloading the entire office experience to remote isn’t as easy as just using a video conferencing app.

        Remote work fucking MADE his company into what it is today. Nobody even heard of Zoom before the pandemic. They were a nothing company with a shitty product amongst many. He knows this very well, he just can’t keep his own micro-managing inner asshole down.

          And yet it still won’t solve all the remote work issues. There is no silver bullet
