She had interviewed and met both remotely and in person, this guy was merely an HR drone confirming her documentation. I was a little bent when she told me he had asked her to remove her blur filter “to have a look at her working environment, make sure it’s not cluttered” (something along those lines). No one else at this company requested such. Was he way out of line?

I should note, this is my PC in our living room and not where she will be working from. And this guy wants a look around our home?! Told my wife to bring this up once she’s settled in, ask HR if this is policy. She started today!

She thinks it’s a racism thing. I’m not so sure, but I don’t have any other explanation.

Your title suggests that you’re asking whether it seems like a violation to you.

Only you can answer this question.

I do thinks it a violation, or at the least, it’s a strange request, especially given the context I noted.

What I’m asking is, “What’s everyone else’s take on this?”
