Manager: Why is your camera off?
Employee: What do you mean? It’s always off.
Manager: No, we need you to turn it on for this meeting. I’m asking you to turn it on.
Employee: Okay, I’m just confused why you’re coming at me when everyone’s cameras are off.
Manager: That’s because we don’t trust that you’re working from home.
Employee: You don’t trust me, but you trust everyone else in these meetings?
Manager: Yes.
Employee: This feels a bit unprofessional, especially doing this in front of the whole team.
Manager: Well, I asked you nicely and you’re not turning it on, so I have to escalate the situation.
Employee: Okay, I’m just confused because the work-from-home contract says we don’t have to keep cameras on. It’s the same contract everyone else has, and their cameras are off too. I literally have the meeting record where you said it was fine.
Manager: Okay, but as your manager, I can change my mind. If I ask you to turn your camera on, it’s not for no reason. You don’t need to worry about everyone else—I asked you.
Employee: I just feel like I’m being targeted. This is crazy. Why me? It feels like you’re singling me out in front of everyone.
Manager: I’m not attacking you. I simply asked you to turn your camera on and you’re not doing it. If you don’t want to turn it on when I ask, I can remove your work-from-home arrangement and have you work from the office.
Employee: I’m following the work-from-home policy, so you can try that, but it’s not going to work.
Manager: As your manager, trust me—I can do what I want.
I’m 48 years old. I can’t see for shit. I used to when I was younger. Had 20/10 vision. Why aren’t refs in their 20’s? How can these old men see a play? I can’t read a fucking cereal box. 😂
