I just onboarded to a project and it was straight to business. Like no hi I'm so and so, I just appeared in a meeting and someone said "oh your new" and carried on.

Also, I'm the only one who turns their camera on. I don't do it or expect it all the time but when you're meeting people I think it's good... I have legitimately worked with people for a month and never seen them outside of the floating head shot on zoom. I guess no one cares to get to know each other anymore... 😕

I'd appreciate a short intro, but camera on is really a no for me. I do not want my coworkers or my clients to see my puffed up unshaven face dripping with stress and my disheveled oily hair. I paid money for that zoom headshot, look at it.

I shave and dress up on the weekend when I go out

I too am not very keen on having camera on. Makes me conscious. I contribute better with camera turned off.

I kinda love that your team is never on camera. GOALS!

My team never turns on cams. Maybe once a year for a party.

I really hope this is the culture across Deloitte. Just left a startup where everyone had camera on all the time. I never want to turn on my camera again. 😂

Wow, no camera is a thing? I'd whack my teams over their heads of they'd keep their cameras off by default.

So I end up accepting blame for things that were not my responsibility. And the truth hits me a few hours later. How can I break this cycle?
