      my kids needed to have their cameras too during online school
      they used a small strip of clear Tesa (or any other clear tape) and put it over their camera
      makes the image quite blurry and the teachers couldn't complain because they had no alternative camera for them

      Companies are now complaining that they don't have enough employee turnover so they're now engaging in "bump" activities to encourage more people to quit. They don't even care who quits, they just want more turnover (which is really headcount reduction since they don't actually hire replacements).

          not that anon, but it's true. It happens in non tech jobs all the time as well. Why continue paying top dollar and included benefits to 50 employees when you could get the same amount of work done by only having 10 of the original 50 employees and a bunch of super underpaid temps? My job personally had internal management tactics leaked because they were discussing ways on being able to lean on union workers to get them to retaliate. Then management would be within their rights to slap them with various punishments until that person gets fired.

                By that logic, you should be shoving a butt plug up your ass, since some people find that more comfortable than not having something in their ass.
                But something tells me the reason you don't do that isn't related to not being able to afford a butt plug.

        Are you not reading what he posted, or do you not understand what an 'option' means? I can work from home or go into an office and I enjoy being able to go into the office. The office is under 10 minutes away by motorcycle, it's a big comfy coworking space with nice amenities, and my desk is set up all comfy. If I work from home, sometimes I get sucked into home-chores more than working or have other things come up, but it's more than that. Not leaving your house for days on end starts to feel real stale, having a space of your own that isn't inside your house provides another option.

          The """option""" in practical terms is a dogwhistle for "hey we have this important meeting (not really) so please show up". This is why I'm ranting even about the "option". I'm a hybrid cuck. Office was an option when I started here. Guess what fucking happened because of idiots like you?
          The vast majority of remote positions will not shut the door in your face if you show up to their offices if you really want that option.

          Incel issue. Get a fucking life. Take a hike. Get a girlfriend. If you don't get to leave your house because work doesn't force you, that is your problem. You have bigger issues in life to depend on work for leaving your house.
          >having a space of your own that isn't inside your house provides another option.
          When I'm remote, I have infinite options. I can work from any public library. I can work from a park or from inside a homeless shelter.

        If you join a meeting you'd have to kill your video feed to connect it to the new meeting anyway.
        Or just don't accept an video call.

        Why would your typing sound over the mic? Is it that sensitive.
