My friend (at a different agency) and I forward each other our zoom meeting invites and pop into each others meetings under fake named accounts.

We’ll ask questions about the brief, or eat peanut butter from a jar with our fingers in front of everyone. It’s a good time and “as a random pop-in,” provides comedic relief for whoever is in the video call.

We’ve started to try to one up each other: walking around on screen in a towel, picking our noses, etc

I am done trying to pretend everything is fine at work. The higher ups on the team kept asking if I’m doing anything fun for the weekend during video calls.

If you opt to share the feedback with the manager, would the manager have a legal case against the company or former employee?

Ever had a crush on a manager? I just signed a new job offer and am worried I’m starting to develop a crush on my new manager from talking to him every week.
