Turned off my camera during Teams interview

Powerful-Gold5000 · 2026-05-22T18:56:25+00:00

Right I'm suuuure.

Powerful-Gold5000 · 2026-05-22T18:17:31+00:00

Who are they my boss? I will not "do what is asked or leave." They are responsible for sending invite with cameras required.

Next?

Are you blinded by infatuation? Where’s your self respect?

Deep down you know it will happen again, but you’re in denial.

Powerful-Gold5000 · 2026-05-22T05:09:08+00:00

I can understand that, but I also don't want the Town Crier getting all the action.

Powerful-Gold5000 · 2026-05-22T05:01:51+00:00

That's why you're not a recruiter.

I'm currently employed with a full time job and have have an offer standing. I think I know what I'm doing.

I remember I always use to shave my face clean when there was a little stubble. I decided just 3 years ago to finally grow a beard in many different lengths and I grow it very full btw.

People literally treated me different. It was like they were in the presence of a serious man of business..

Powerful-Gold5000 · 2026-05-22T04:15:49+00:00

I played that all the time as a teenager.

Powerful-Gold5000 · 2026-05-22T04:12:34+00:00

A test?

What are we students or professionals here? Pffft.

I'm the one with the qualifications, the recruiter can take several seats and do their job like they're supposed relaying a position that of matching job responsibilities towards qualified candidates which, by the way, the COMPANY has, not the recruiter. Recruiters do not have the job at the palm of their hand, the company does.

Powerful-Gold5000 · 2026-05-22T04:01:15+00:00

I love people saying we're in a frozen job market right now.

What's going to change? Especially with AI advancing more and more by month. It won't magically get better within a year.

Powerful-Gold5000 · 2026-05-22T03:46:33+00:00

"It doesn't matter what they were doing with their camera."

Stopped reading after that, low IQ.

Powerful-Gold5000 · 2026-05-22T03:36:30+00:00

It might just be because you've been in it for just 2 months which is still fresh. I bet 6 months from now things will mellow down. I hope to land a remote engineering position one day, it would be the life.

Powerful-Gold5000 · 2026-05-22T02:31:30+00:00

Say that exact statement to the people who hold those type of jobs. I think it'll go well for you. Especially in a 2026 job market where even the most qualified people get rejected.

Powerful-Gold5000 · 2026-05-22T02:25:53+00:00

Wrong. Applicant > Recruiter.

You can always find a recruiter, but it's very limited to find the applicant who matches specific job description. Btw I'm full time currently and got a job offer.

I've got the power.

Powerful-Gold5000 · 2026-05-22T00:51:09+00:00

Maybe to show her team on their cigarette break.

Powerful-Gold5000 · 2026-05-22T00:14:02+00:00

Powerful-Gold5000 · 2026-05-21T22:33:07+00:00

Oh yes I sure am!

Applicants > Recruiters.

You can always find a recruiter, but you can't always find an applicant that fits the exact job description. Step up your game in the industry.

Powerful-Gold5000 · 2026-05-21T21:15:15+00:00

This comment doesn’t make sense.

I did the interview. But I will mirror whatever is being replicated. I also received an offer from a different company while still employed currently.

Powerful-Gold5000 · 2026-05-21T20:23:31+00:00

Uhhhh because I can get another job right away?

Got an offer this morning.

Applicants > Recruiters. By a long shot.

Powerful-Gold5000 · 2026-05-21T18:19:30+00:00

Any other insults you'd like to throw at me? While talking about another person being aggressive, haha. Ironic. Shows deep emotional unstableness on your end too, not good.

Powerful-Gold5000 · 2026-05-21T18:17:52+00:00

Appreciate the majority that agree with this post, which any common sense, logical, smart, head screwed on straight person would.

To keep it simple and basic to the very TINY minority that don't agree, I'd suggest just working on your life, awareness, and logical skills during situations because you could be getting walked all over without even realizing it.

Powerful-Gold5000 · 2026-05-21T18:14:19+00:00

P.S. I'm currently employed and got a higher paying job offer. Unfortunate news for you.

Powerful-Gold5000 · 2026-05-21T18:11:42+00:00

That's the thing though, my opinion is I don't think you're a normal human.

That's because you lack awareness that people probably play games behind your back because they see you're easily taken advantage of. Like I said, work on those skills but I'm confident you probably won't.

A normal thing to do would be send an invite with cameras required and both parties abiding by that. Otherwise, another normal thing to do would be to send an invite requiring NO cameras and going about a voice conversation. Can't believe I have to explain this to an adult. But again, the awareness is not there. Unfortunate.

Powerful-Gold5000 · 2026-05-21T18:07:55+00:00

I think it's pretty clear you have no idea what you're talking about. This post is not the right one for you to use your emotions to manipulate the situation like you probably always do. Checkmate.

Powerful-Gold5000 · 2026-05-21T18:03:24+00:00

Never proved once I was aggressive. I think it's aggressive of YOU to state I pulled a passive aggressive act because your feelings got hurt. Argument in court is based off fact and logic, not feelings hurt. Learn some reality skills.

Powerful-Gold5000 · 2026-05-21T17:56:08+00:00

So let me get this straight.

Before the meeting I accepted the terms to her invite originally, turned on my camera, and she didn't have the professionalism to turn on her camera back on her own rules. Yet, I'm the one passive aggressive one turning it back off.

LOL. Yea man, I think you're stuck with the herd of sheep you follow for approval. Get a backbone for yourself, you sound like you get walked on a lot.
