no one talks

met with deafening silence

This reminds me of children who will get their toothbrush wet, put a little paste on their tongue so it smells like mint, run the water for 2 minutes, but not actually brush their teeth. You know, because they don't want to, and/or they don't understand the point.

They just know that the parents say they need to do this thing, and they'd rather be off playing. You're standing there for two minutes holding a wet toothbrush and staring at yourself in the mirror. Why not just brush your teeth?

I get it, they're very busy. They're already gonna be on the call for 15 minutes. Just participate ya know. Why choose to make that 15 minutes a complete waste? I expect the above from a child, not people with jobs in tech =/
