Curious as i want one for my WFH job but of course I’m hella scared about getting caught. Anybody know of any good, reliable ones that won’t break the bank?

Without fail the following occurs almost every time: Presenter says something like, “alright… let’s give everyone a few more minutes to join…” or “who else are we waiting on? Is so and so still on vacation?” Followed by the initial small talk that I find goddamn insufferable. Shit like, “we are getting lots of snow in our state!” or “it’s been raining a lot here” or “is anyone traveling for the holidays?” If there’s a screen share involved the following is inevitable: “can everyone see my screen?” Or “can everyone hear me?” Once again, I’m grateful af for the ability to work remotely, but this shit is feeling so mundane at this point and I don’t think there is any end in sight.

I only lasted 2 months in that position and it was a nightmare the entire time. My boss was texting me 24/7 about issues at the shelter that I had absolutely zero control over and “venting” to me about other employees aka talking shit. Every week someone was changing their schedule, couldn't work certain days anymore etc, or texting me to complain about someone not doing their job correctly. I'm not a career person. When I get off of work I want to go home and not have to think about it until the next day that I'm scheduled. The last thing that I want is to be getting texts about an issue that I can't fix while I'm trying to relax. I will take less pay if it means having better mental health, I don't care anymore.
