> I have ADD. The last 18 months have been incredibly difficult for me. During in-person meetings, I'm able to mostly focus on what's being said and participate as needed. In online meetings, I invariably zone out and miss everything.

Are you my boss?

Seriously though, I’d be working 100% from my home if my boss could parse anything from video meetings. But he can’t, so I’m in once a week for all our project meetings. I don’t actually mind it most of the time, I like the break from home and being able to whiteboard.

I agree that fully remote work isn’t the universally level playing field so many are making it out to be.
