Manager Asks Employee To Keep Camera On All The Time Even When Pumping The Milk

Most of us are accustomed to being on camera at least occasionally. Security cameras are present everywhere, whether it be at the workplace, on the highway, or even at the grocery store. However, things might become uncomfortable if it is assumed that everyone will have their camera on throughout Zoom calls. On the r/MaliciousCompliance topic, a Reddit user described her experience. The post’s title is both unclear and a wonderful summary of the entire narrative, so let’s step back and give some background information.

OP has been working with a federal government department as a project manager and data scientist.

On days when OP is in the office, she has a private space to go where she can pump breast milk.

Things went down during a Zoom call. OP received no response. At this point, she decided to turn on her camera. While it wasn’t aimed at her chest, it was clear that she was pumping.

Things changed afterwards, though. At the next meeting, the directive changed to, “Please turn on your cameras if you are comfortable doing so.”
