Why don't they just ask you to train them as that seems more effective? You seem to know the job better than the manager who surely has different things to focus on, and you could possibly explain things better than the manager could to new starters.
I would have to fight really hard with myself not to respond with ‘ditto’.My lack of training meant I really struggled. I'd get calls from my director saying things like "I'm struggling to see what value you are bringing" after just three weeks of being there
Yes exactly. I don't mind having my camera on during video calls when it is for a scheduled meeting, but when it is out of the blue it seems a bit invasive.
The bosses at our place suggested this at one point. We use teams to speak to the other site and update each other throughout the day. Management thought it would be great that we speak using a webcam rather than type a message saying a short sentence. Totally stupid, they backed down after we all kicked off.
This is why I hate Microsoft Teams so much
Shite isnt it!!This is why I hate Microsoft Teams so much
I must’ve missed when people FaceTimed as standard when calling colleagues pre WFH. Why is it expected to see people now? It winds me up! We had staff training and they kept saying it’s rude to ever have your camera off when someone has theirs on.
Times like this I'm glad my workplace is woke and we're not allowed to force anyone to have their camera onI must’ve missed when people FaceTimed as standard when calling colleagues pre WFH.

I have body dysmorphia and a cheap webcam that would make anyone look like a potato means I’m rarely putting it on. Even with make-up it makes you look barefaced. A director had a go at me once about it in a team call. I’ve never FaceTimed family or exes, it’s nothing personal
How do you work the woke angle?Times like this I'm glad my workplace is woke and we're not allowed to force anyone to have their camera on
I feel like Wednesday Addams in that scene from Camp Chippewa before they get forced to watch Disney Movies for not conforming 
So passive aggressive too. I had a colleague who would blind copy my manager into emails, I only found out as one time my manager responded!
I had an asshat of a boss who would do that. He'd start by saying, "Who am I speaking to? Because if I can't see you then how do I know?" Ummmmm ... because I answered, "Hi asshat, 1001 here" ???
I have had my ‘manager’ I use the word very loosely tell me to ‘duck off’ in an office full of people ….. today’s annoyance was a little less subtle does anyone else have team members who wait till you’ve finished for the day to email you to ask to speak to you? Like Iv just sat there for 6 hours and you couldn’t speak to me in that time? You have to wait for the second I leave to tell me you need to speak to me tomorrow 
This. And colleagues that are off sick all the time with a different ailment each week 🥱People who just want to chatter on literally constantly . I really don't care about your life story im here to work
