[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, turn on the camera. This is your one-on-one with your boss. It’s one thing to dial in if it’s a big meeting and your can’t see who’s on the Hollywood Squares board anyway, but this is in lieu of your in-person check in which they might decide to make you do. It is indeed rude to not look at the person back if you have the means to do so (not if you’re on the road in your car or some other place without a camera).

Like others said, always schedule another meeting so that you can leave on time. But there is always going to be some interpersonal chit chat, in part because managers are taught to “appreciate the whole person.” But since you admit you don’t always appreciate the soft skills, looking at people in a professional context and looking engaged is a very important one. I have one employee who comes into my office for many things and drives me nuts, but I sit there and listen, nod, and smile because that’s how this employee processes things. [/quote]

OP Here
You are correct. I will video in more often. I was in denial that it mattered until my boss revealed their frustration with our meetings. I appreciate your professional advice and have recognized the role I must play if I expect this to be a healthy working relationship or move forward in my career. [/quote]
