My favourite was a classic zoom fail on my part- wfh, forgot camera was turned on by default for all of programme board meeting. No one said anything as my cat decided to take centre show in front of camera. I wondered why there were a few muffled laughs as I was making some serious points about delivery challenges. Client head of Operations took screenshot, printed it out with the title ‘Introducing the new Deloitte - Programme Head of Technology’ and stuck it up round the office the next day.
This was the screenshot:
Aggressive looking cat. Perfect fit
I decided it would be a good idea to listen to a company-wide monthly meeting while taking a shower not realizing the camera on my phone was on the whole time (who knew Zoom has different preferences for mobile). I got out of the shower and suddenly had 10 texts and 20 slacks saying turn your camera off... No idea how many people or what they saw...
This is my eternal fear. I avoid mostly but on one of occasions I cant avoid, I check so many time before ahem.. and still put the phone face down on counter.
Was hosting a entire practice call when someone didn’t realize they weren’t muted and proceeded to get into a screaming match with their significant other. Yea... that was kind of a train wreck...
Ps- those calls are recorded...
Was on the toilet releasing excrement whilst actively tuning into a client meeting. Due to uncontrollable and violent rectal movement, a loud thunderous flatulence unearthed. Relieved that I was on mute, I proceeded to flush but at that moment, received a text from my colleague telling me to mute.
Just waltzed into the other room where husband is WFH, in pajamas and crazy hair. The man forgot to mention he would be on video calls. The entire leadership team saw me. I am actively contemplating walking back in now that I've cleaned up, just to show them I'm not always a slob.
