I feel this irrational anger when people always have their camera on because it guilts me into turning mine on too. It’s easy when you’re a bald dude, but as a woman, I have so many more societal expectations on me to do certain things to be “camera ready”. Easy to say ignore it, but that’s not how life works.

Unless you look like a homeless person on camera, nobody cares what you look like.

@Senior Scheduler,

I was going to respond that there are no societal expectations as long as you're not totally a mess but I guess people like Senior Scheduler exist and you can't wear a tshirt.

For everyone acting like on camera is just a lesser effort version of in person. Havent there been many studies proving that we (women) look at ourselves on camera extra critically and find it distracting?

PM1, you're making some asinine assumptions. Check yourself. The ones accusing others of something are usually the ones actually doing it.

Camera fatigue is real. I get tired of having to face a camera all day long for calls, my eyes get blurry and I end up with a headache. A healthy balance is appreciated.

The alternative is to do the whole shebang AND travel to the client site on some terrible bus on top of that rigmarole.

As one of those assholes that turns on their camera. I don't mind if you don't turn yours on. You can see the disappointment in my face. But, when someone does turn theirs on we are besties! I couldn't care if you don't have makeup on or haven't washed your hair or it's in a net, I just want the emotional connection and play off your facial expressions.

You already have zero commute while many people do, sometimes grueling and painful ones. Stop complaining.

I hear you!!! I don't feel the pressure to put makeup on, I just make sure my hair is brushed and my clothes looks neat.

This is funny 😭😂

If you don’t feel comfortable being camera on all the time during meetings then you are in the wrong business. Consulting is 100% a people business. Most consultants, like yourself don’t seem to understand this.

Oh my, you don't see it, do you. Wow.

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
