If you worked in a team that sat together and burbled away to each other to co-create, why not jump on a voice call together (no video, remember you’re still in your jammies!). Someone pop on the radio. Chat. Work & chat. Especially if you’re living alone and feeling isolated
Place strict limits on your ‘video calls exposure’. Too much of anything does you no good. This requires leadership, permissions & support from good leaders. And they need to lead by example.
Bloody ‘phone each other!!!!!
Office comms were bad enough with emails. A hundred lines of potential misinterpretation & unintended offence, when a 2 min call would suffice
Use Zoom/Teams to talk to one another. Like you’ve popped over to their desk.
Start the conversation speaking human, cakes, children, pets, fitba, planes....whatever.
Do the business chat.
Speak human. Thank you & see you soon

And repeat.
This movie is Contagion, not Terminator. The machines are our friends....if we use them properly.
