One of her very short videos has gone viral, with almost a million and a half views in four days. It simply says –

Spotted: a fellow remote ‘worker’ setting up his ‘office’ green screen for the day.

There were a variety of reactions to what appears to be a man with a combination wind-break/green screen – from full support via naked envy to all the people saying he was an idiot because digital backgrounds exist.

Still – if you need a windbreak anyway …

Here are some of the comments we enjoyed.

I took a pic of my home office set up as my Green Screen😂

Thinking when we’re at home we put up beach backgrounds but when we’re at the beach we put up home backgrounds???

Funny, I actually have to focus so much even remote working I can’t even have Netflix on in the background.

I worked from the Harley Davidson dealership today. I love my noise-cancelling headphones. My team didn’t hear a thing lol 😂

You mean to tell me instead of totally calling out and potentially backing up productivity, this employee still worked on a self-care day? Legend.

Where are you people finding remote jobs that pay decent wages? 😫 so sick of sitting in traffic and waking up before the sun.

The work gets done, right? Nothing to see here but a productive and proactive employee.

juanmortero930 had a lot of support for this argument.

Idc what you say, that’s not more comfortable than working from an office chair with back support in the AC.

We can’t see that convincing Avery.
