I have a standup every morning and am happy we are not obligated or somehow pressured to turn video on.
I don't have to shave.
I don't have to put on a business casual shirt.
I don't have to clean up my living room.
I don't have to be aware I am being looked at the whole time - seemingly paying attention when someone rambles on about a topic which I am not involved in, not scratching my ear when I want to, whatever.
Every two weeks or so, we do have a meeting where people turn their camera on, which is fine. Every morning would be too much of a hassle with everything else going on though.
- swader999 6y agoWe're all on video with all our meetings. I shave about once every three weeks. Most are wearing t shirts all the time and nobody cares about attire.
- ghaff 6y agoI don't really understand the big deal. I usually have video on. I'm essentially always in a T-shirt. If I have to run down and get a coffee or whatever, I shut video off. I'm on video from my desktop and I'm generally in agenda/email/etc. on another system but I can do it on my desktop as well.
- grogenaut 6y agoI'm working about 80% right now from my back yard in shorts, t-shirt and flip flops. However that's no different than when in the office. Not sure why people are still dressing up for work calls.
- ghaff 6y agoI don't actually like working outside that much because of screen glare etc. But, yeah, I'll wear a polo shirt "uniform" when I'm recording a presentation or whatever but otherwise I'm wearing a T.
- grogenaut 6y agoI have 2 apple trees in my hard which provide very good shade. I'm using 2 laptops, my newer one for coding and the other one on a milk crate for hangouts. The big issue is actually when I don't notice sun dappling through and I get a neck burn.
