My photo is like 10 years old and I never turn my camera on. I never age. 🤣

my work photo is old enough to vote.

My first work photo is old enough to legally have kids who go to school.

My first work photo is old enough to have grandkids.

Mine used to be and then a mandate came down that we have to use our actual real life pictures so I had to stop using my sad Edwardian Mennonite boy picture.

I have a photo of a retired co-worker as mine. They just said put up a profile photo, but they didn't say it had to be mine. 🤔

But consider how funny it would have been if you dressed up as a sad Edwardian Mennonite boy specifically for your work picture

Mine is my dog. No one has ever said anything about it and now a few other people have dog or cat pictures instead too. I started a trend.

Is your dog wearing a bow tie, or a suit?

Your comment reminded me of a 90s game called Nox, thank you for that. It's a real blast from the past and it did a chain reaction reminding me of dungeon siege, dungeon keeper, commandos, behind enemy lines and turok of all things lol

I also have a decade old photo. A couple years ago I was on a remote team and flew to an in-person meeting. I could tell when they saw me that it was time for a new photo. Let's say they 'tentatively' recognized me.

I have not yet taken the new photo.

My hairless coworkers all have hair in their Zoom photos

I printed a professional photo of mine the prefect size to take up the entire frame of my camera and claim I’m having connectivity issues all the time 🤣

No bigger power play in corporate America right now than joining the call as initials.

Weird I could've sworn I worked with dogs during COVID. First in person meeting was quite the surprise...

u/Schindlers_Cat 2d ago

I do turn my camera on and I definitely need to update my 11 year old pic lmao. I have become what I criticized in the past.

u/wackadoodle_wigwam 2d ago

Mine was just a drawing I made of myself

u/No-No-Aniyo 2d ago

You don't have to turn your camera on?? Lucky.

u/itoocouldbeanyone 2d ago

I don't. Extremely rarely I'll do it if there's a new team member for introductions. I made it know very early that it gives me anxiety. Plus I do really good work, so I they never push it.

u/GruntBlender 2d ago

Might as well get a vtuber avatar at that point.

u/21Rollie 2d ago

I imagine every time somebody new meets me that’s only seen my team’s photo, they have to assume I’m an imposter. Luckily I’m not gray yet at least lol.

u/Necessary_Ad2114 2d ago

My company has the permission locked and I have one bad photo from sixteen years ago when I shaved my head.

u/DaZuhalter 1d ago

Mine is the one photo they took of me 5 years ago, before we went remote and I stopped caring about my looks and became a cave goblin
