It only took three days for Angela, aka TikToker @aconley235, to change the minds of her employers when they started forcing all employees to turn on their cameras during video conference calls. The way she did it was with wigs. She wore a different wig each day during the calls and harmed no one while doing so. Yet, her management still emailed her after only three days of video conferences telling her to either "table" the wigs or she can choose not to turn on her camera. So a win for her, mostly. Many viewers don't understand why having her video on during work meetings was such a big deal to this TikToker, but they don't understand the history behind it for her.
You see, Angela has been working in her field for over 15 years and several years ago she was sick of the racism she was experiencing at work. She filed a report and an entire investigation went down and she was able to prevail. She got the HR and some management fired for their actions. Since then, she has been able to work through telecommunications. However, this new management seemed to be unaware of the prior investigation or were simply ignoring it. "If you'd taken the time to read the room, you'd realize that this video is not just about wigs or not wanting to be in front of the camera," Angela says in a response to a commenter. The wigs weren't just to be chaotic or stubborn, they were a way to show her employees that she has not and will not stand for any disrespect going forward.
It was a small win after she received the email saying she no longer has to turn on her cameras, but she assures her viewers who came along for the wig ride, that there is still a long way to go.
