After 18 months of WFH no surprise just about everyone at CitiGroup was reduced to zoombie mode.
Zoomers walking out into traffic staring at their phones thinking they're saving the world by protesting with their fingertips.

By the end of the full day Zoom meeting every single staff person had become a Zoombie!
