What are some funny subtle things you do on zoom calls?
On internal calls when someone says,”let’s take a step back” I physically step back if standing. I’ve gone so far back I can no longer reach my keyboard. 😂

I have 10 black backgrounds with the Deloitte logo on it but all of them slightly higher than the other so I try and cycle the logo up and down behind me if I’m bored in an internal meeting.

Taking minutes and typing away all the things I shouldn't and then deleting them.

It's a habit now, which led to various sometime funny other awkward situations.

I dig my toes into the carpet when I’m annoyed in a meeting but can’t show it on my face

Ive done a lot of research and made loads of notes but get very nervous in interviews and dont always articulate how I would want to / say everything I want to cover.

Generally curious how many companies offer phone reimbursement? My last gig did not but the current one does. Legally it seems, all employers are required to do so if we use our phone in literally any capacity (video call, slack, teams, emails etc). How prevalent is the issue of not reimbursing phone dues?

Came back to school in August with a cruise ship still sitting on my stage. We walked away from Anything Goes the day after the sitzprobe because of the quarantine. Still taking the wind out of my sails.
