I started working at D a couple months ago. I accidentally joined an internal phone call with project leadership a little late today because I got tunnel vision on a work product. The same thing happened to me a couple weeks ago without internal leadership. Should I be worried about this? Idk if I need to bring it up to my manager during our check in next week if he doesn’t himself.

Nope this happens to everyone! Calendar reminders are too easy to ignore/snooze/dismiss

As long it is not personal work, it is a perfectly good reason

The stuff people worry about :)

No one noticed unless you had something to report on

If this was me in front of my past manager he would have noticed, immediatelly pinged me "where are you??!" and then berate me for 5 minutes after call claiming I don't pay enough attention/take things seriously etc 🥳

That manager is bad at their job. Should have checked in before the call.

Yes. A couple of times in a short time with someone new? I’d be concerned it’s going to be a habit and whether you are reliable. If you or they bring it up, you have to fix that. If they don’t, maybe it’s no biggie to them.

Define ‘a little late’

Yep, can’t stand calendar reminders, too easy to miss. For important meetings I set reminders or alerts on my phone, much easier to track.

Hi! Trying to sell a client on casting someone with a disability (that in no way affects or changes the story) in a film. Their concern is it will 'add an unnecessary layer'.

Has anyone ever asked to be taken off of an account or project? For months, I've been working with the most difficult client with the most vicious attitude. Most of what they're frustrated about isn't even our fault. I was recently promoted and don't want to make myself look bad, but the thought of doing more work for them makes my stomach turn. Is this a valid reason to be taken off a project? I'm not used to working with such rude people.
