"Switching on the camera can be a tedious task in WFH setups, especially when employees have just rolled out of bed for early morning meetings. Yet, when the rule is made mandatory, people have no choice but to comply. However, some cleverly outsmart the rule by maliciously complying with it, making managers regret implementing it in the first place. Sharing one such hilarious story on October 22, a Reddit user ( u/jadeoracle) described how an employee found a creative way to comply with the "camera must be on during meetings" rule in front of the CEO."
"Describing her co-worker as carefree, she shared that during their work-from-home meetings, the colleague displayed her entire daily routine on camera with no hesitation. During the first call, the co-worker would be seen flat out of bed, while during the second meeting, she would be seen fresh out of the shower, with a towel wrapped around her head. The next meeting showcased her eating her breakfast, while during the next meeting, she'd be seen styling and curling her hair. "Then we'd actually be able to get some work done, but if you had calls later in the day, it was obvious she was working from a bar with beer in hand," the author added."

Managers regretted enforcing the camera rule after witnessing this behavior during meetings that included the CEO.
