I work from home, and my home is a studio apartment. My workplace has a no pets policy. I thought that it would only apply to bringing pets to their office. I didn’t know that it would also apply on zoom calls when working at home.

I got an official strike for breaching that policy when my dog was in the background of a zoom call. My dog was simply sitting still in the background. The only place where I could hide my dog out of view was in the bathroom.

No worries Pete. I got a still image of dogs in a dog park, and set it as my zoom virtual background. My dog was as usual sitting behind me, but out of view this time.
