Working remote via video chat must the great equalizer haha…

In reality I think people working remote haven’t worse off.

While I think height does play a role, as a slightly below average height male I’ve personally never had an issue dominating / being defaulted to after brief interactions.

While this trend / tendency does exist and imo is extremely strong genetically (looking to the “alpha”), a few words can shake that tendency in most rooms.

I think being better groomed, fit, etc probably plays an overall larger role in terms of projecting competence.

Being confident and speaking with conviction in statements likely outweighs everything
