Happens to me in meetings all the time. I messed it up for my team a few months ago and my manager had me and a few others turn on our cameras because he thought I wasn’t paying attention.
I kind of was, but kind of wasn’t. It’s hard in a meeting of 9 people who spend 5 minutes each talking about things that have nothing to do with me but I have to pay attention in case I do have input to share.
Listen boss, having me look at a camera is the surest way for me to NOT pay attention.
Now, if I work on something while you NTs ear rape me with your voice vomit, I'll actually hear the important bits.
