By the way, girls, Akimov's story is notable for the fact that in recent years digitalization and a healthy lifestyle have pushed two very important frames from social processes: "smoking room diplomacy" and queues.

The meetings in smoking rooms in some companies and departments were (and in some places remain) the most productive in terms of time spent and results, and in the queues, although time was wasted, people got to know each other and exchanged opinions (and the exchange was much more peaceful than in comments on the Internet). Digitalization and optimization are, of course, good, but if frameworks are washed away from social life, when people for some reason gather in one place for a relatively short time and the atmosphere is suitable for getting to know each other and talking about a common topic, it's a disaster. Queues for the bathroom, the microwave, the fitness machine and the office cooler do not replace the smoking room and reception areas!
