I agree with you partially. I found something interesting, with this everyone work from home: I'm able to communicate with certain people more effectively via zoom.

I think it boils down to with zoom, you are literally in someone's face, and it's very obvious when you aren't fully focused on them.

Perhaps the new way, with zoom, gave some people an opportunity to reset their manners? Not clear what the real reason behind it is, but I noticed it immediately.

What a great bonus it was.
