Why Must We All Turn On Our Cameras? Seriously? 🤔

Every Monday morning, like clockwork, my manager insists we all turn on our cameras for our virtual team meeting. I get it—connection, engagement, blah blah blah. But does anyone else feel like this is just unnecessary pressure? Sometimes I’m just not in the mood to be seen, and honestly, I know I’m not alone. What’s so wrong with letting people choose? Why does it bother some folks so much if a few of us keep our cameras off? Is it really about productivity, or is it just about control? I’m starting to dread these meetings, and it’s making me anxious about work in general. Has anyone else dealt with this? How do you handle it? I’d love to hear your advice, because right now, I’m just feeling frustrated and stuck. 😩 #WorkplaceWoes #VirtualMeetings #OfficeLife #JobCareer
