[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are they working at home by choice, or was it forced because of COVID and just continued?

This matters.  I hated being on camera during COVID because I live in a one-bedroom apartment and my desk is in my bedroom, which seems a bit invasive to me.  I never signed up to work at home, and never had a proper professional-looking environment there.  If I had intentionally chosen to work at home, then the situation would have been different, and I would have chosen to live in a place that had a more appropriate-looking environment.  Yes, I know that virtual backgrounds exist, but I hate them.   They never work that well, and always make me feel that people are trying to hide something.  I'm genuinely glad to be back in an office full-time, so none of this is an issue.

Beyond that--does everyone have sufficient network bandwidth to do this?[/quote]

Yep, I also have a tiny one bedroom apartment and work from my couch. My back faces mirrored closet doors. If I were on camera, everyone could see the entirety of my apartment by looking at the mirrors behind me. I am not interested in showcasing my crappy apartment. The only other place to sit in my apartment is my bed, and that'd be even worse. I don't own a desk or table. [/quote]

Geez, just blur the view or do a background, not hard.[/quote]
