Cringiest hot mic 🎙 moment of WFH? I was on a webex and a phone call at the same time. The phone call was to provide so not very nice feedback about a peer. Turns out I was not muted in the meeting and said peer was on the webex. 😳

I received gawk gawk while on a weekly zoom meeting and forgot to mute. She was a bit loud 🥴

Lmao absolutely not. Big4<<<<

I had a camera moment.
I was gorging on hot Cheetos before an org-wide call, and then logged in a haste because I had forgotten I was supposed to join.
I suddenly saw 10-15 messages being dropped to me separately, all asking me to turn the camera off.

Since the presentation was yet to begin, and everyone had disabled their cameras, all they could see was my hilariously orange face. 😂

I can laugh about it now, but I could have died back then!

Love that for you! 😂

I think the cringest part is you were on webex

I was letting my manager know that after repeatedly talking to said peer, he still was being very abrasive to the team and it was impacting their moral. It wasn’t anything he hadn’t heard, but there were others on the call. I apologized to him privately when I found out the mistake.

Monday Morning rumination: unsolicited advise is criticism.

Much to reflect on with this topic. Last week I was told in a 1:1 with a new contact that I was “too direct”. After some time chewing on the conversation I was struggling to place the emotions I was feeling. Turns out I was feeling guilty and shame for being me, for taking up space. Lesson of the week: unsolicited advice is a criticism of you, a micro aggression of who you are, and being “too much”. What would you do??

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
