My company just implemented a camera-on policy for every single Zoom call, regardless of the time or the reason. I’m an introvert and find back-to-back video calls absolutely draining, but now I’m being told it’s a performance issue if I don't show my face. They say it’s about engagement, but it’s actually about surveillance and control. I feel like I’m being watched every second of the day, and it’s making my social anxiety skyrocket. Is anyone else dealing with this kind of micromanagement?

Is it a European company?

Normally I have seen Europeans have their camera on all the time by default

That's so weird! I don't see how that makes a difference - could you just say your camera is broken? haha

I am trying to write a stock letter to send to parents everyday that their child does not come to virtual learning sessions. I have been told by administration that even though I have spoken to parents and know why students are not coming to zoom classes, that we still need to contact them everytime they dont come. For some of my students this is everyday due to parent work schedules and disability issues.
Is anyone else having this trouble? What are you saying to parents to cover yourself?

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?
