[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jeez. I do this. I mean, there’s no piles of laundry or dishes or mess like that, but yeah, you can see my bed, and yeah, sometimes it’s not made. Who cares? All my meetings are internal or with consultants working for us. If I’m talking to a client, I make sure the bed is made.

I don’t like the backgrounds. They always end up looking so fake and blurring weirdly around your hair. It’s just a bed, what is so bothersome about that?

Loosen up. [/quote]

It is not professional.  Use a background. Blur the background. Sit next to a blank wall. I don't want to see your bedroom or messy house.

I interviewed for a role and a few different people on the meeting zoomed from their (messy) bedrooms & some were wearing t-shirts or maybe pjs. I declined to move forward for a couple reasons (not all about background).  I don't want to work at an organization where people can't be professional enough with someone they are interviewing (I would have been the boss).  One of them actually commented on how they couldn't believe I had a fall tree background. I wanted to reply, at least it isn't a messy bedroom!  Seems silly to pull out of a job for, but makes me question their judgement and work ethic.
