Meetings can seem endless, eating away your entire day, especially when you’re working from home and your employer doesn’t understand the concept of private time. Apparently, it happens to the best of us.
Paytm Founder and CEO, Vijay Shekhar Sharma took to Twitter to share the news of his longest ever Zoom call ever – at 7 hours 45 mins!
Just finished my probably, the longest Zoom call.

7 hours 45 mins.
And while many started making memes, there were also those who took pity on the employees who had to endure this meeting in the first place. Is this even healthy? Especially when the rules of the pandemic have dramatically shifted our way of working, blurring the lines between our personal and professional lives.

Ok. Worried about the person who need to take meeting notes and share today by end of the day 🤣🤣🤣

What is there to boast odd..it’s ineffective way of handling things..people concentration will fade off eventually during such long meetings.

The struggle is real no doubt.

Everyone does it!
Say we – Due to Covid restrictions we have our CA INTER lectures online over Zoom.
Morning 7 to eve 7.30
With 15 mins break after every 2 hours. You do the math!🤯
Now the moderator will share the “hours of meeting” instead of “minutes of meeting” 😂

Not to be proud of – I hope it was well organised and you would have saved few hours at least. #Whatnottodo #Online https://t.co/WfEktYhg4V

Do Zoom calls even need to be that long? Or is it safe to say that the PayTm CEO has said bye bye to his work life balance?
