We’re still mostly remote at work, with more and more of the coordination done over chat. Meetings are mostly audio and shared screen.
One unpopular program manager has begun to make it a point to ask everyone to turn cameras on “for better communication”.
He called me out today and I discovered a lovely bit of maliciousness. I turned my camera on, and we immediately discovered why TV announcers dress simply. I was wearing a golf polo with fine horizontal stripes. Every time I moved, a moire pattern danced across the screen. It was the most obnoxious, attention grabbing thing I’ve ever heard. Cue five minutes of razzing me about my shirt.
I spent the rest of the meeting fidgeting in my chair. I can’t wait for next week’s meeting. I have several more shirts with similar patterns.
