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!)
@APBBlue @Devils_Rancher Just unbelievable. Sounds like said boss has self-confidence issues. Just bizarre. Also rock on to the swords!
My only thing with Hubby during Covid telecons was that he should not turn sideways on his camera because then people would see the holes in his hair where I had tried to cut it for him. Head on he looked good. <<g>>
