Viral Reddit Post – Boss has a big shock after he forced the employees to switch on the camera during the video meeting

A strict boss learned a difficult lesson about the enforcement of rules without context after asking that an employee turned on her camera during a video meeting – just to make a shocking revelation.

In a now viral Reddit contribution entitled “Do you switch on my camera? Fine … ”, the employee said the encounter with her boss named Mark, who was a“ real sticker for the rules ”.

The employee detailed the incident, which took place in 2021, began his post with the description of Mark's personality: “He was a man who did not allow the chitchchat to be allowed in his team and loved an office day more than anything, although our team was external and we all lived very far away.”

The employee then explained that they had a chronic illness that required regular hospital infusions. “When Mark did not want to Chitchat, he didn't know that I was living with this disease,” they said.

One day the employee worked from a distance from a hospital bed from a hospital bed when Mark asked him to turn on his camera during a virtual meeting. The employee initially rejected to avoid explanations: “We had planned our daily meeting and I thought it would be okay without calling my camera because they could still hear me well, and I didn't want to freak out anyone with the infusion line in the picture.”

However, Mark insisted on a one-on-one discussion during the call and reported to the employee that it did not follow the camera-on directive. The employee committed his application and switched on his camera, and the boss was thus left in a state of complete surprise.

“I turn on my camera and watch his face from red to white when he clearly sees me in a very hospital room. I tell him that it is uncomfortable for me to be in front of the camera while I'm being treated (not even what it is for). His sweaty little face still brings me joy, ”said the employee and concluded:“ It was a really nice moment to sunbathe, and I think about it quite often when I get managers who may only regulate a little too much. “
