35 Zoom Memes Shared On This Online Group With Almost A Million Members (New Posts)
InterviewRemember the days when we all were in self-isolation, working, studying, eating, sleeping and spending leisure time in the comfort of our home? That all-too-familiar comfort soon turned into cabin fever, and Zoom became this surreal substitute for real human communication.
Fast forward to today, and there’s still a lot reminiscent of these times – from people rethinking their values to employees switching to remote and hybrid work models. The memes of that time are also not going anywhere, like this Facebook group “Zoom Memes for Self Quaranteens.”
Launched on March 12, 2020, the group started as hilarious source of memes and today it’s home to a solid 958.4K members. We wrapped up some new memes from the page that anyone who’s currently under a burden (and a blessing in some other way) of work or studying will relate to. Psst! More Zoom memes can be found in part 1.
Bored Panda also spoke with Dr. Gleb Tsipursky, the best-selling author of Leading Hybrid and Remote Teams: A Manual on Benchmarking to Best Practices for Competitive Advantage (Intentional Insights, 2021) and CEO of Disaster Avoidance Experts about ways the worldwide pandemic transformed how people work, as well as the benefits of remote work for employees.

Dr. Gleb Tsipursky explained that prior to the pandemic, the habits and mental models of work centered around a physical space belonging to their employer. “However, during the pandemic, the 56% of all workers who could do their job from home changed their habits and mental models of work to focus on the tasks they did, not where they did these tasks,” Dr. Tsipursky said.
According to the CEO of Disaster Avoidance Experts, employees learned they can have much more work-life balance, less stress, more happiness, and more time with their family and friends, while still getting all their tasks done.
I still have my book that says if Bob buys 200 potatoes and eats 129 how many potatoes does Bob have
The way the women are looking at him is what makes me believe the title
they make these so that prison isn't just a place to put them, it's supposed to reform the prisoners and make them better people by treating them like basic human beings
You should watch some videos on YouTube about Norwegian prisons. They get their own private shower, comfy bed, video games and the inmates have a shared kitchen where they prepare meals and the guards hang and chat with them. And none of the guards carry guns. Wow. That s**t would never work here in the US…especially Texas! Lol
Unlike the US, they actually get reformed and their recidivism rate is practically 0. It's crazy what happens when you treat people like human beings.

If you get life in Denmark, you can expect to be out after 16 years
Load More Replies...These are just the advertisement pictures. Don't buy this scam, the real cells are dark, dirty and haunted by the ghosts of the celtic graves they're built on
Honestly no. I'm from Denmark and these pictures are real. Sadly we see more homeless people every year, the recent economic crisis hasn't made it easier for those with lower income. However, everyone is provided with sufficient funds for living and the homeless are offered shelters and housing. I know of some who declined because they couldn't bring their dog. But then it's their choice, and they are still taken care of. Drug addicts are provided free controlled drugs or substitutes. And of course medical care, like everyone else. It really helps keep crime rates low by giving everyone a chance for a decent life. And yeah, we also have strict gun control so shootings are very rare. Everyone can get an education, no debt. Taxes aren't even that high, we have a high minimum wage. It's called democratic socialism. Because we all chose it democratically and the vast majority are very happy with it. I still struggle to understand why people elsewhere prefer a radically different society.

A lot of old prisons where actual modern when they where built. Also, it's not more expensive to make something look nice, but long term it's cheaper as people will vandalize it less.
Love d decor and d natural light 🙈 never thought id say that about a prison
Thinking we're number 1 and turns out, compared to other 1st world countries we're the feral children living in the woods afraid to leave our caves because it's the only thing we know.
When I lived in the Netherlands, I remember it being a thing that they would rent out prison cells to other countries.
there's a comedic series based on this idea - 'The Little Old Lady Who Broke All The Rules'
Now, to be fair, these are "open" prisons; Where you get sent for minor stuff, or as a non-violent first time offender. My older brother was in one for his first bank-robbery (long story..) and he told me their fence was literally a white picket fence. Basically, its more like a camp that you're not really allowed to leave (with some exceptions) and its up to You to stay there and behave until you've served your time.
When asked how remote work benefits employees, Dr. Tsipursky said that the large majority found they really like working from home: that's why 87% of workers would want to work remotely for all or a significant portion of their time, if given the chance.
He explained further: “That's because employees benefit immensely from spending time working remotely. They don't have to spend two hours in traffic every day stuck in a commute. They don't have to put on fancy and uncomfortable clothing, such as hard shoes or heels. They don't have to pay for overpriced lunches in downtown restaurants.”
Instead, Dr. Tsipursky argues, “They can spend much more time with their friends and family. They can have better balance as caretakers of children or elderly, which benefits women especially, since they are still unfortunately the major caretakers in our society.”
Moreover, “remote work is especially desirable for minorities such as African-Americans, since they still face microaggressions and discrimination in the office, as well as for people with disabilities, which is why minorities have a much stronger preference for remote work than white males,” Dr. Tsipursky explained.
While there are so many benefits that come from remote work, it’s no secret that many companies are still reluctant to implement a fully remote work model. Dr. Tsipursky explained that this is because of cognitive biases, which are mental blind spots that lead to poor decisions.
“Many leaders feel a desire to go back to the world before the pandemic. They fall for status quo bias, a desire to maintain or get back to what they see as the appropriate situation and way of doing things.”
Moreover, “a major factor in leaders wanting everyone to return to the office stems from their personal discomfort with work from home. They spent their career surrounded by other people. They want to resume regularly walking the floors, surrounded by the energy of staff working.”
I love in America. We get no vacation time a year. Lucky if we have any PTO and sick days are taboo and can get you knocked hard on a performance review. Hell last week had to go home, fever of 103°F and I have to sign an attendance paperwork for "company records" on that.
Another problem is functional fixedness, Dr. Tsipursky argues. “When we have a certain perception of how systems should work, we ignore other possible functions, uses, and behaviors. We do this even if these new functions, uses, and behaviors offer a better fit for a changed situation and would address our problems better.”
“That's why so many companies are unable to implement effective hybrid work policies and are instead demanding that all employees return to the office,” Dr. Tsipursky concluded.
My biology teacher does this. We will be halfway through the class and he will say something along the lines of, “Ok guys, only 42 more slides to go!”
I use guys for everyone, similarly to the terms dude or bro
bro i was inputting a bunch of names and grades and graduation years and then manually entering all 120 email addresses (based off those things) bc i didn't want to deal with the formula, and then my dad was like NO THIS IWLL BE FASTER and wasted a FULL 30 MINUTES trying to figure out a fkin formula. I completed it manually in literally half that time.

This article is called "38 Zoom Memes..." I looked at the first 10 and could not see any connection to Zoom. I'm confused.
