We used to be able to join meetings without needing a camera. A few weeks ago, they decided they wanted to change that. Now we have to be on camera for meetings. So dumb having to dress up when I’m home just for a few meetings spread throughout the day and not being able to zone out when the meeting is pointless and has nothing to do with me because people can now see us.

The reason they gave us was “we’re going remote but YOU are our biggest asset! We don’t want to lose the community among everyone!”

BS, they want to make sure the actual person who was hired is doing the work they were hired for. Which I get, but forcing all departments to do this was dumb. And some department heads aren’t enforcing it, but mine is for some reason. So we’ll be in pointless meetings where I have to sit there at attention while others get to stay off camera because their boss isn’t mandating it.

It used to be something I was happy our company didn’t do unlike other companies.

I used to record myself sitting at the meeting for like 15-20 minutes, then just set that running on a loop.

And The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down 2: The Boat That Couldn't Slow Down

This is just like Speed 2 but with a bus instead of a boat.
