      It is downright scary how quickly most servers can flip that switch.

    I’ve been told repeatedly that I show the second face to early, well before I actually close the app, usually starting around the time we’re discussing signing off.

      Oh no! The audacity to show your real emotions (or lack of them) among your coworkers!

      Can’t you just fake having a happy little life like all the other worker drones? We’re a family here, and that means suffering for our sake.

        Funny (sadly) enough, it’s usually American contacts or colleagues that get annoying over it.

        This while me, as a European, tend to get creeped the fuck out when they do this fake smiling all the time, especially when going out to eat.

          As an American. I’m so, so sorry. It’s a plague over here. It’s definitely a cultural thing. The ways the US functions at it’s core demands it, in its hyper-competitive work landscape. Thankfully, a lot of Americans understand how fake it is and hate it, too. It tends to mostly present itself in more “successful” individuals in the States.

      Exhausting is a good description. I don’t mind people seeing me from time to time when i feel like it. But man I am so much more tired when having the camera on after and during a meeting.

      Just stare into the camera without moving or blinking, like Dennis Reynolds in the interrogation room
