Social etiquette: A must even online


Online meets not forever: Hopefully, we will still remember to treat each other respectfully when we return to physical meetings. — Photo: 123rf

I AM not sure about the frequency of meetings in schools these days but to those whose jobs require that they attend a number of meetings daily, phrases like the following may sound all too familiar: “Sorry, I missed your call. I’ve been in back-to-back meetings since 8 am”, “I just jumped out of another meeting into this one” or “ I have to miss this meeting because another one just popped up in my calendar”.

I am referring to meetings that are held on the online platforms, of course. Am I the only one who feels this way, or has the frequency and the pressing need to call for online meetings suddenly accelerated over the past few months?
