Some people hate micromanaging bosses, but do this kind of judgement on coworkers because of birds chirping... Just mind your own damn business.

Gotta say, I do work on my back porch sometimes and you might hear birds chirping. I think it's one of the benefits of remote work - you get to go outside and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine while you are also working. So maybe it's some long weekend fun, or maybe just some outdoor work time!

Absolutely, when the sun is shining on a Friday and you’re stuck inside it’s depressing. No reason you can’t be just as effective with a little sunlight to bring some positivity as well!

I don’t think they care to “fool” anyone lol

I didn’t even know zoom has a background noise? lol if I had my windows open you’d probably hear a TON of birds, just my area, my friends say it’s crazy when I send them voice messages and I didn’t realize they could even hear them!
Dunno what your problem is, maybe just jealous?

Teams has a noise cancellation option which works. Crying babies in the background are somehow muted.

Being forced to use Teams makes *me* cry, though.

Their only mistake was not increasing the audio background dampening in Zoom settings

Or… they are taking the call from the cafeteria /outdoor patio because they worked through their lunch hour.

Why can't the person work on the patio? Don't every assume!
