I had two managers. One would put the Macbook Pro on a backyard garden table, and sit about 4 feet away, and spoke without any microphone, with the wind, the birds, the dog, and he'd assume everything he said was clear. And WebEx had noticeably worse audio quality than Zoom or Slack, and my coworker said the same thing. Only when the manager asked if he had issues with the audio, the coworker kissed up to the manager and said it was all good. The other manager would place the MacBook Pro 2, 3 feet away on a docking station and hook up to a wide screen monitor, also spoke without a microphone. The problem was, he had an accent and I have an accent, and he assumed his English was all perfect because there are more than a billion people with the same accent. And worse, when he shared his screen, he shared the wide screen deluxe version of his screen on the external monitor, and it appeared in our MacBook Pro with 60% of the width and 60% of the height, so it is like 60% of the size for fonts on the screen (60% x 60% = 36% of the screen real estate), and he assumed everybody saw his screen clearly. For both of these manager, when I politely mentioned to them I sometimes could only clear 70% or 80% of what they were speaking, they gave me "Nobody else has this problem. Why YOU?" Note that if people have been with the company for 3 years or 1 year, at least they can guess what the manager was talking about when they could only hear 80%. For me, I was a new hire, merely on the job for the first month at the time, and they took it as if I worked there for 3 years. I tried Zoom and the audio was superb. It was loud, and it didn't sound like from a cave. But for some reason some companies (Cisco and Apple for example) still use WebEx, and Cisco is basking in their WebEx so cool aurora.
We need a TLDR !
WebEx sucks. Zoom and slack is good. Lol
and some managers can suck too
