I’ve come to a point where I just started at the green dot on my laptop camera when talking. I want to do the Errol Morris interrotron to get some sort of connection. The lack of eye contact or staring off to the side from other participants makes me think they have high anxiety or on the spectrum like rain man.

I don’t know if you’re exaggerating or if you’re really staring as much as you say. But yeah, similar to in-person, it could be kinda intense on video to just stare into my face.

I stare into it when talking but I focus on the dot. but when people are talking I look away and or watch the person that is speaking. I try to look directly at the camera rather than talk to a screen of to the side.

I definitely get agitated when people look to the left/right at another screen vs the screen with a camera attached. It’s so unnatural to human interaction it’s better if the camera is just turned off.

Thank you for the fog of war memories 🥰

I recently raised my rates after being told I wasn’t charging enough on here. Both of my main clients have already responded saying they either can’t pay me my new rate ($125/hour with 15 years experience) or are interested in “talking further.” So naturally I’m starting to freak out a little bit. I’m still pretty new to freelancing full time. What do I do/say? Do I hold my ground and hope for clients that pay me what I’m worth? Or lower my rates/standards and hope I can make ends meet! Help!

Quick PSA: one of the perks of going in-house, is that you’re no longer at an ad agency and all that that entails.

Just started a new in-house tech fl gig and it’s giving me whiplash! Somehow this dept has brought every person/toxic behavior from their old agency just to a new environment. Nowhere is perfect but good god. I honestly think companies/HR could learn a lot about their depts from freelancers.
