My Colleagues Are Right. We Should Keep Cameras Off
<p>There has been a running battle at my employer over the last few years. I think we can now announce that the results are in. After all of this time, my employer is right and the vast majority of employees are wrong.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>This is different from usual. Usually <strong>both</strong> the employers and employees are wrong.</p>
</blockquote>
<h2>Post-Covid Hybrid Rules</h2>
<p>My particular employer decided that after the pandemic workers could WFH in a <strong><em>hybrid</em></strong> way.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>They didn’t spend any money giving us monitors, chairs, or equipment to facilitate the transition.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Despite the type of complaints, <strong><em>The Secret Developer</em></strong> has mentioned, we’ve had an interesting time mixing face-to-face and online working.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>If my interesting, you mean disastrous.</p>
</blockquote>
<h2>Segregated Mixer events</h2>
<p>I’ve seen our discouraging attitudes practically bring down events.</p>
<p>Let me run you through this. We have a large number of <em>offshore resources </em>that we wanted to feel *included* in our away day, along with colleagues who could not make it to the office (the cat got sick, the tortoise moved faster than usual, or whatever reason).</p>
