Do you think differently about the way you look, or are you more aware how your face actually looks, since you’re seeing yourself on zoom so much? And are you like me, so self-conscious that you only look at yourself the whole zoom call?

I am 51 and have a dirty secret. I look better on zoom than in person. Morning sun is my friend in my office so I am am glowing these days on the zoom. I started a new job and fear I will turn into two-face from seinfeld once we all return to work. 🤣

A foldable screen is your friend. I have a setup which I can put up in 2 mins which consists of a pop-up screen, a dark gray sheet over it, and a bright tapestry on top to create a visual center. I prop up the screen behind my chair, clip the fabric to the top of its frame to avoid any unexpected “oooops” moments in the middle of a call. Had multiple people commenting on how amazing and artsy my “room” looks! 🤪

Just set yourself up nicely before the call. Look your best. Buy a Ring light. Position your computer or phone etc. when call start minimize your video. You need to stay engaged on a video call. And you can’t do that if you are always criticizing your own image.

Morning guys. I already posted in the “job referral” bowl and got no where so I figured I’d reach out in this group. Anyone in here work at Meta or Zoom wanting to give a job referral?

Any Slack SEs here? I’m in conversation with a Slack recruiter for an SE role. Curious how competitive the market is with Microsoft basically offering MS Teams for free and the pandemic starting to wind down. I see most cool startups have Slack and bigger enterprises have been getting swooped up by MS Teams because of cheaper pricing and not needing to buy Zoom. I personally like Slack more but how are current market conditions and how are y’all feeling? Slack Salesforce

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?

My manager is a woman, and she is always commenting on how I look in front of everyone - and it just gets so weird. Ex: on Zoom calls with everyone, she’ll call attention to my outfit, or to my extensions, or to my make up when it REALLY ISNT THAT BAD! Plus we Zoom with all other guys so it’s like UGH stop making it weird. And it’s never a straight forward compliment - it’ll be like “Hey arent you cold in that shirt?” *attention is automatically on my shirt”.CONT.

Thanks in advance.

Was getting yelled at by senior manager via Zoom for going over budget.
Didn’t respond, just dropped from the call Intentionally, due to the tone/ aggression shown.
Gave him 3 minutes to calm down and rejoined the zoom call.
He settled down and adjusted his tone.
Do you guys think I need to report to HR this behavior or just let it go? I’m a professional not a child to berate.
