Reality check alphabet: Fear of appearing rude

A postscript

Last week, I spoke with:

  • the Head of Compliance at an institutional bank who held the very strong view that having one’s camera off on a Zoom call was ‘disrespectful’
  • a few participants in a group writing program, each of whom had their cameras off, who were arguing passionately that what they perceive as ‘niceties’ are objectively a good thing for everyone.

?Clearly, perceptions of what is polite and disrespectful vary widely.
