Any ideas on how to prevent my face from lighting up when switching to lighter colored tabs on Zoom/Teams meetings?

Well, that’s happening because lighter tabs output more light from your screen, which can impact the overall lighting of your face depending on other lighting in the room or how pasty you happen to be.

Try a combination of the following:
- Reduce screen brightness
- Increase brightness/qty of other light sources in your space so the screen isn’t the primary light output
- Get a spray tan

Generally curious how many companies offer phone reimbursement? My last gig did not but the current one does. Legally it seems, all employers are required to do so if we use our phone in literally any capacity (video call, slack, teams, emails etc). How prevalent is the issue of not reimbursing phone dues?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
