But as September rolled around and they still weren't back, company culture was beginning to suffer. New hires appeared via video conference whom no one had met in person. A feeling took hold that they were going through the motions of work instead of working together as a team. They tried to be lighthearted in some of their meetings, but, as Sheshunoff explained, "A video conference meeting in a funny hat is still just a video conference."
