25%+ of companies have decided to go to 100% telework. So dodging zoom calls is like avoiding meetings. it shows contempt for your employer.
Not a great career retention and advancement plan.

When companies fund proper WFH workspaces, why not.
Let’s see, I needed a professional grade microphone, headphones and a decent cintiq tablet (for whiteboard and drawing), as well as room soundproofing. Provided by my Singapore employer. I don’t miss their Google meet meetings.
Too bad most companies give you a crap top and most people are forced to use their dining room or kitchen tables for work.
You seem to think that work at home is for the employee’s benefit. It is totally for the employer’s benefit. Lower costs, less physical plant, lower liability...

God where am I, DU? What a crybaby you are.
The built in camera and speakers on standard laptops work just fine. I bought a $40 camera since I use a 27” monitor. If you are not willing to invest a few $ in your work environment, you do not have a career, you just have a job.
Bottom line: the jobs will go to people who are OK with standard equipment and are willing to chip in a few $ will get the jobs and the work.
Babies who throw tantrums and make demands of people who are in no position to do so will be on the dole.
No one owes you anything.
