We’re fully remote and several of my team vapes constantly on camera. Even with our clients in the call. It bothers me bc it’s seems unprofessional. Am I being too stuffy?

Nope, it’s incredibly unprofessional of them. The fact that it doesn’t even occur to them to not do that in front of clients makes me believe they’re complete idiots.

Be sure to address it asap.

If it is unprofessional to do it in an in-person meeting, it is unprofessional in a virtual one as well. I would nip it in the bud ASAP. It doesn't just reflect poorly on them, it reflects poorly on their managers as well.

I have a friend who vapes consistently. Inside theaters, Ubers, restaurants, planes. He always has it hidden and takes a hit here and there. I find it sad that he can’t make it more than 40 minutes without needing a hit. But, it’s also embarrassing because he knows it’s not appropriate to do in those settings, but he still does it.

Ok so I vape but never ever on camera. Although I have worked with folks (usually overseas) who do it pretty blatantly on camera. It’s unprofessional IMO even if it’s a habit. Definitely not on client calls.

I have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected). He's worried about if he should put the experience on his resume anyway, if he does will recruiters ask why he had such a short time at this place, and what will recruiters think if he explains he was let go. What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?
