Got a random email from a supposed Amazon recruiter for a SDE position (which is not at all a fit). The email is amazon.com domain and there are no red flags in the body but it doesn't feel like an Amazon recruiter due to the tacky signature, etc. Has anyone seen this kind of cold-calling from FAANG recruiter?

Pretty sure I was on a call where someone was either A) working out intensely, maybe with heavy weights? B) shagging
Lots of grunting and heavy breathing. We had to end the call because they couldn’t mute the person 😂
I was zoned out, camera off/muted on a 500 person call. Little did I know we went into breakout rooms and I was in Kevin sneaders (McKinsey CEO) room with 3 other people. Noticed right as I heard him asking if I wanted to participate lol

Yesterday a woman was jogging her treadmill on a 300 person call. I don’t think she realized the camera was on ... and angled poorly 😬
I got your chat. Well, my Friday is ruined 😑
can't be worse than the time my lead forgot to mute himself and peed loudly on the call
twice
Omg I’m having secondhand embarrassment
Well - at least you didn’t send the IM about your client to your client. So 🤷🏻♀️
What’d you say in the chat? Lol
EY2 and then everyone clapped?

🙋 are you me? Just typed something shitty about my team in a meeting chat I thought was someone pinging me directly. 😭 Imma go die now.
How did this turn out? 😂😂
I’ve had a minor but still cripplingly embarrassing wardrobe malfunction on Zoom. You’re good. Happy Friday!
Thank you for the Friday laugh!

Don't ever use Zoom private chat, just send a regular IM
Lol saw that. It wasnt terrible. Enjoy your chill 2 weeks
Lol well that part remains to be seen. But thanks hahaha
If you want to feel better ... last week I was in a SteerCo and I had to shower as I was late to meet my wife at the doctor, so I switched to my phone and while in the shower the camera turned on ... thank god for my teammates that they took some screenshots 😃
We had been in a breakout room and I didn’t realize it auto switched chat back to “everyone” when the break out ends lol
Good thing it was a mundane message with no clients on the call
I said “this point leads us to a destination of nowhere” in the main chat of Teams instead of to my colleague. Then the person asks me why in the chat and I had to think fast and say “I may need to think deeper to ensure I understand your perspective”. This still meant we were going nowhere, but at least I put it back on myself. My colleague was dying though 🥴😂
Better than yours, I think! Hope it gets better from here...
Why are you using zoom? Sincerely Accenture^
A while back, before Zoom, a colleague thought he put himself on mute and said "effing a--holes" and screamed in frustration... Did not go over well afterwards. I just imagine that sinking dread when you look and realize mute. is. not. on.
Over a decade ago I was on a call lead by some very high up at the company. It was an all company call and we were expected to put ourselves on mute. A woman in one of the offices said “does this guy every stfu?” Thinking she was on mute and she wasn’t. The line went silent. 🤣
Surprised this hasn’t shown up yet

Lesson learned. Next time use Skype/Lync or whatever your instant messenger is.
