Unfortunately a new manager insists that everyone should have cameras switched on for "human connection" and so that people feel more integrated.
- avisser 5y agoI wouldn't discount human connection enough to quote it. I've been the only remote person on a team pre-pandemic. It was easy to see others as assholes who just cause work for me if you never/rarely put a face to
- foxfluff 5y agoI've also been the only remote person on a team pre-pandemic. I never needed the camera. We did use it for a stint but switched to audio only due to technical issues. Even when we had the cameras on, I'd quickly end up switching to another desktop and focus on information relevant to the discussion: issues, personal notes, meeting notes, code, schematics, datasheets, etcetra.
