Is it unprofessional to have your bed in the background? Obviously it's worse if it's unmade. Moving places and struggling to avoid it happening while maximizing SQFT.

Just blur your background. No one has to know what you have going on behind you.

Better not to. Most people won’t care, but a few will. If you can avoid it, do so.

I’ve been WFH for over two years out of my bedroom.
Hasn’t been an issue, I just blur the background. I’ve tried the fake backgrounds and it’s just not my thing.

I work in my bedroom, and I hate the fake backgrounds. I bought a room divider, and it works great. Definitely worth the investment.

The only place I can put my work desk is in my room. If you have an issue, pay me more so that I can afford a larger space with a dedicated office.

Most of the time my background is blurred anyway

Is it unprofessional?! Then I guess my virtual background must look super inappropriate!!

Why not blur it or use a virtual?

I don’t want to see ANYONES bed. I’ve heard stories of toys and lube being left out. Imagine how embarrassed you would be if your penis pump or strap-on gets caught on camera.

I don’t think so. People will just ask if you’re traveling / in a hotel

Eh it’s not even just that but personally I don’t want coworkers and management to see my personal bedroom space. It’s too invasive for me.

Hello,
I’m a junior data scientist and in my current job I mostly code using Pyspark (no machine learning) so I would like to work on a side project that could leverage my profile and data science/ML skills. What project would you advice me to work on ? (it can be a kaggle project, or a classic task that you do at your job, or a paper that you read).
I’m overwhelmed by the many suggestions online and would prefer to get a suggestion directly from professionals.
PS : I’m not a beginner.

Today marks a year since my best friend’s death. We actually hadn’t known each other too long bc I met him at work. Maybe 5 years but we connected so well. He died from a fatal accident last year. He had so much ahead of him. I miss him a lot today because I got a job offer from a company I told him that I wanted to work for, when he was alive. And I can only say this but I also had a secret crush on him. (Continued)
