Someone from my team accidentally turned on their camera completely naked and had no idea cause their sound was off. Was quite the sight

likefunnyupliftingsmart

No, he didn’t get in trouble. We’ve all worked together for 2+ years and know each other well, nobody was suspicious it was intentional. He was beyond embarrassed and scared so we made a lighthearted joke and moved on.

Listen. If the CEO of a large media company wants to cover himself from head to toe with chocolate syrup and dance naked on a zoom call, it’s totally within his right to do that.

I'm sure head-to-toe chocolate syrup would be considered blackface.

Don’t know but it could be fun to guess. It was described as “lavatorial”. If it was actually clever and funny and not offensive to any group of people, I’d almost forgive it.

If they return, do you think they will come asking for the tech-level total comp they may have had as if they are possibly worth more given they worked in tech? Or would they be “back to (present) reality”?

What's the best course of action when you find yourself at a job that's far more chaotic than you assessed while interviewing? Upon starting this job a couple of weeks ago, I discovered between the time I interviewed and my start date they had hired a new CEO, laid off all of their off-shore teams, changed my position to a new hiring manager, and added an on-call rotation to all engineering teams. None of this showed up in my research of the company or my interviews.
