Arbitrary professionalism
The body language. The verbal language. The stiffness. Remember all the ways you had to be “professional” before when you spoke with clients or bosses or coworkers? That all become so irrelevant and unnecessary when people had to work from home. When your naked toddler is bound to walk through the back of your Zoom call and your spouse will be heard baby-talking your dog in the background of a meeting, why are we wasting time trying to be uber professional? It turns out we can show our humanity and still get business taken care of.
