Got a random email from a supposed Amazon recruiter for a SDE position (which is not at all a fit). The email is amazon.com domain and there are no red flags in the body but it doesn't feel like an Amazon recruiter due to the tacky signature, etc. Has anyone seen this kind of cold-calling from FAANG recruiter?

My opinion in front of a senior partner. Didn't even need to screenshare for that one.
My pajama dress tore open when I got up too quickly and I flashed my chest to 20+ people. Almost all of them were men. Long story short I left 2 months later haha
Baati Gang 💪🏾😂
Accidentally shared my second monitor to a large group, on which i was casually picking out an engagement ring.. for myself
Hahah love this. So relatable.
This past March, I was using my Zoom account to play poker with buddies the night before I had a meeting. I had an inappropriate background for the poker sesh. I didn't realize that Zoom defaults to the last used background, so when I turned my background on for the meeting the next day, there it was for 50 folks to see. I think on ordinary times I would have been fired.
Clearly I need to find a background throne flanked with hunky gym rats and shirtless psudo firefighters etc.
Did a presentation where I «borrowed» most of the deck from an earlier part of the project. Turns out I presented the BCG guy his own slides..
The client actually started asking questions whether I had actually had done any research, and he backed me up saying I had good insights to add.

Happened a few weeks ago. Joined a call a minute early and left my camera on while I went to make myself a cup of coffee. My dog jumped on the coach and started licking herself right in front of the camera. I came back and my entire team was cracking up
Rising Star
Yeah, but PwC2 made out just fine, because now that dog has an Only Fans and raked in the big bucks. Sparky’s makin’ it rain!
My resume while applying for other jobs....
A6 - training opps are worth it??
My mustache. I’m female
Sorry boo - my facial hair is effortlessly thick.
I was projecting on two large screens in a conference room full of people when my calendar reminder popped up. It said.....
“You’re Ovulating!!”
Ninja move: Immediately say, “Gotta go! Be back in 20” and leave the room at a brisk walk. Bonus if you’re at a client site.
I was Facebook stalking someone else who was on the call...ugh
I do google searches in other tabs that include attending people's names as the string shows up in the tab name (internal calls only of course). Then I do my presentations and say nothing unless they call it out and then I feign embarrassment. Gotta try to have fun somehow in these crappy days!
Accidentally shared a a Google image search for “big cheeseburgers” when getting ready to present. My client was a vegan. 🤦♂️
I was hungry and short on time. I did eat a very big cheeseburger that weekend.
Not me, but one of our vendors accidentally shared his teams chat talking shit about us. No one said anything for 30 minutes 🥴🥴
This happened to me as well back when I was in audit. It was quite awkward when we both noticed I had seen the client’s chat with another client contact saying how dumb we auditors are. Then we proceeded to discuss request list items...
Client CPO asked me to open Amazon while I was sharing screen to the steerco so he could demonstrate some feature he envisioned for a deliverable. This was ~1Q 2017. My recommendations were all “Make America Great Again” hats and “The Art of the Deal”. Never used Chrome at work again.
Found the Karen!
Remember when you were young and would let your spit drip and then suck it back up...Yea I forgot my video was on.
Stoppppppp lol
I didn’t realize my video was on. I was in my pajama, messy hair and I think I picked my teeth
Job application to major competitor 😅
Was the competitor ZS?
I had a tab open for a wine delivery service called Naked Wines. Had so many other tabs open though that only “nakedw” was displaying

Pee pee
Not something seen, but forgot I was unmuted during a call across the pond (6am for me), and my whole team heard me tell my husband goodbye that morning, which was along the lines of, “don’t get another damn speeding ticket... no I love *you* more.” I came back and the team was teasing me for being schmoopy bc I was typically very buttoned up at work.
That’s sweet. Shows you’re human
My sex chat... that was on Google chat window...
