Urgh.
I& #39;m gonna break this down, especially for anyone who& #39;s on a Teams/Zoom/Discord call with me. https://twitter.com/drbarryrubin/status/1282324871960244224">https://twitter.com/drbarryru...

"1. Don& #39;t be late."
I& #39;ll pay that. It& #39;s always good to be on time, but sometimes not always feasible, especially if your day is back to back bloody meetings with ZERO breaks in between for things like eating and getting a glass of water, stretching or going to the toilet.

"2. Turn on camera."
Fuck right off. Sometimes I will not have my camera on because I& #39;m definitely not dressed for "human consumption". I only turn on my camera when it& #39;s completely necessary.

"3. No eating."
Again, fuck right off. If I don& #39;t have time during my day to eat, I get hangry. You wouldn& #39;t like me when I& #39;m hangry. Mr GirlGerms HATES ME when I& #39;m hangry. So I& #39;m gonna eat. I will mute my microphone so you can& #39;t hear it though, because I am at least polite.

"4. Learn how to interrupt."
Fair point - though using the "raise hand" in Teams is certainly useful, also the chat functionality if youhave questions and don& #39;t want to use mic. Some people dont& #39; feel comfortable speaking AND THAT& #39;S FINE.

"5. Close your door."
Nope. Not gonna happen. My door remains open for airflow. So my husband (who also works in the room with me) can come and go. So I can get cat cuddles. So my DAUGHTER can see her parents, when she& #39;s home. You don& #39;t like it? Don& #39;t fucking call.

"6. No multitasking."
I laughed so hard at this one. If I didn& #39;t multitask while in meetings, I wouldn& #39;t get shit done. And that& #39;s the same for almost everyone I know. I& #39;ve seen their calendars. Back to back meetings mean productivity is shot *without* multitasking.
