Even if it's a social setting, an annoyance in a social setting can now translate to the work setting where that person now has some... They can lord over me. Anyway, so I just thought... I now don't belong here after a certain amount of time. So maybe if everybody from the office goes to the bar, I don't belong here after the first drink. And then I should leave.
And I take that mentality and I apply it to everything with social media. If my presence... makes you think twice about anything because I am no longer just a neutral party in your- You're not a wallflower. Life. Yeah. Then I should remove myself. So that's why I don't follow people. That's why I don't go and like their stuff or whatever.
I remove myself because I understand that everything that I do or don't do is going to be perceived differently. And I just want to leave you alone and let you do your thing. Thank you, Your Highness. You are welcome.
Great.
I've done that. I've brought out Indian food on work Zooms. Here's my rule. I have a very specific rule for this. The rule is... So first of all, it depends on the Zoom, right? If it's a client call or some important call, no, obviously not.
Oh, all hands. Well, sorry, I'm exploring all the options. So...
Eat on this call. That is fine. We give you permission. So if I need to be presenting totally professionally, obviously there's no food. If it is just internal and it's casual enough, then my rule is very specific. The rule is no food goes into my mouth on camera. I will lean off camera and take a bite and then come back on camera.
Why? Because it's, I find it unpleasant to see. And this is, you know, like whatever you go out to dinner, it doesn't matter. But like, I don't like watching cooking, like TV, like the food network or whatever. I don't like seeing people eat. Why do you want to see people take food and put it in their mouth? That's not a pleasant thing to see.
But that's what people do. Like you watch Guy Fieri and it's just like him shoveling food into his mouth. I don't understand.
The food is, and I just lean out of frame and I take a bite and then I come back in frame. This is, I've always, this is what I've been doing for years now.
Yeah, see, I've probably done it with you guys.
That is true.
Right. Nothing. Does it taste like anything? For context, for people who don't know, I literally genuinely do not have a sense of taste. I cannot taste food. So people who know this ask me a lot of questions.
Stick around. Help Wanted will be right back. Welcome back to Help Wanted. Let's get to it.
Oh, I have strong feelings about this too.
Yes. Or when somebody else is naked. I used to work from my bedroom and my wife would come in after the shower and she would always be like, is the Zoom off? And I'd have to turn it off. So I feel like companies, I feel like I'm going to deputize everyone listening to slowly, slowly try to drive your company culture towards camera off.
Yes. Camera off. We don't need this. We don't need to be on camera all day to see each other.
Well, that's wonderful for, for filming, for making podcasts and stuff. But like, you know, if you were just talking to colleagues all day, I just don't think that you need to see their faces. And whenever I have a meeting and I tell people, you know, we don't need an, you don't need another zoom meeting in your life. I am sure we can do camera off. They always say, do you know what they say to me?
They say the same thing every time. When I say, I'm sure you don't need another Zoom meeting in your life. We can keep the cameras off. What do they say?
Thank you. They always say thank you. Thank you. Because they don't want it. Nobody wants it. I have found that entrepreneur, there were a couple colleagues who just started showing up with their camera off. Shout out Deepa. Deepa's camera's off and off. And it inspired others. It created permission for other people to keep their cameras off.
