Pro-tip: You can tell someone to blur their background on Zoom calls without telling them that their home looks like a "junky basement."

@jalefkowit Yes, sorry that our home doesn't live up to your expectations for background shots.
If you're a manager, you should REALLY learn how to do that.
@APBBlue It’s funny - I was a technician that became a manager because things grew, and I was never comfortable in the people part of management, and it always took me by surprise when an employee told me I was a great boss because I was just learning in the job…
But good lord.
@Devils_Rancher All he needed to do was ask Mr. Blue to blur his background. He didn't need to insult him/me.
@APBBlue If it was a meeting with multiple people, it would absolutely also be a private chat. Did this… boss… do this in front of people?!
@Devils_Rancher No, he called him and chewed him out.
Mr. Blue has been using this exact setup since the pandemic.
@APBBlue @Devils_Rancher OMG how RUDE. And now you've reminded me of the "rate my background" thing that started during Covid. Which was actually rather sweet.
@nomdeb @Devils_Rancher He has literally been on calls WITH THE WHITE HOUSE with this background. Nobody has ever had an issue with it before. (Some people do comment on the swords!)
@Devils_Rancher @nomdeb He thinks this guy is trying to get rid of him so he can install his own person.
@APBBlue @Devils_Rancher Hooo boy would I dig in my toes then. Assuming he wants to remain in the job of course.
@APBBlue WHAT
