    Meetings at 4pm are bad enough, but you know what’s worse?

    When some fuckwit actually says ‘Hey can everyone please turn their cameras on so we can see you all’. They said it with waaay too much enthusiasm for a 4 pm meeting, or any meeting for that matter.

      My workplace forgot to issue me a camera and I haven’t bothered to push the issue. Maybe it’s time for your camera to break and for IT to drag their heels on a replacement.

        I just got a new laptop not long ago. Do not want to go back to the old one while this one is being ‘fixed’

        I’ll just keep the camera on and not pay attention as usual.

        Fuck me, I hope that included standing in the lift or on the train.

      I’d activate my avatar (this is in Teams, not sure if other apps have similar)

        We use Teams, I just put on the most obnoxious background possible.
