SILVER LAKE—An area consulting firm’s happy hour transitioned into an hour-long department project sync this week, according to sources familiar with the Zoom call. “I chilled my beer for this,” said Jeremy Roth, as he contemplated the merits of turning off his video to drink the beverage before it reached room temperature. “One minute we are making small talk about Bethany’s new haircut, and the next our boss is asking how everyone’s week was going with the company-wide remote connection failure last Wednesday.” At press time, half the call attendees had stated they needed to make dinner and “would have to hop off.”
