Not in a perverse way but the Covid-19 pandemic turned to be quite advantageous for many companies. Zoom was one such company as remote working, video conferencing became the need of the hour. Zoom’s popularity increased and so did the revenue. However, in the post-pandemic world majority of companies are calling employees back to work. Joining the list is none other Zoom. According to a report by Business Insider, Zoom CEO Eric Yuan told employees in an all-hands meeting that the biggest problem the company is facing currently is the culture.
“The number one problem we are facing is company culture,” Yuan told employees, as per the report. He said that the company cares about all its employees but at “the same time we build trust from our employees who care about our business as well.”
An earlier report by Business Insider revealed that the company had asked employees who live within 50 miles of a Zoom office need to report at least twice a week.
Those who want to leave can do so
Yuan also said that employees who want to leave the company because of the new changes are welcome to do so. “For any ‘Zoomies’ who feel like this is not a company I want to work for, absolutely OK,” he said. “We wish you all the best. Again, we want to make sure we support each other and focus on the company.”
The Zoom CEO was asked whether it is a case of come to office or resign. He said, “This is not something simple and straightforward.” He urged the company employees to think from “others’ perspectives and think about it from a business perspective and what we can do differently. Otherwise, I can tell you, even if we have a great opportunity ahead of us, we cannot deliver unless we address the culture problem.”
