Ok.

Nah, I pick and choose. Do I know the team well? No video. First time meeting? No video (let's eliminate unconscious bias, shall we?). Meetings thereafter? Sure. But forcing people to video all the time is absurd. I might be breastfeeding my child and don't want to broadcast it. Or maybe my AC broke and I'm not rocking office friendly looks. Point being, it's a choice to be used wisely.

This isn’t what you said. You said you were joining zero video calls except client calls. Very different to sitting the odd one out.

This is a very silly take, and will hurt you in the long run.

It depends on where you work. Where I work, it would definitely be an issue bc we vc all the time and it’s how we build rapport. Being a voice gets the job done but it’s weird when everyone is on VC and you’re not. Maybe where you work you can get away with it but even our c suite always uses video.

Did not expect this to get so much hate... I think it’s fine 🤷🏽‍♀️ lots of rapport can happen without video. If you get canned surely other factors are at play...

OP... I feel you, but as the others have said, it won’t bode well for you. At least know you are not the only one who hates it video calls

Hello,

I am currently a Health Admin Fellow at a leading healthcare system. I am in a phase during my fellowship where I will have to start searching for a role within the system in the next 3 months.

I was wondering what kind of role would be best step forward for an admin fellow.

I was offered a project coordinator role but feel I should not accept the same without looking at other options. I aim to seek out a project manager role and was wondering if this would be the wrong step forward.
