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

Someone else was sharing their screen to the client when I sent a message saying “[Insert Client Name] is a clown”

I got a message from the client saying he saw my message. I was about to take off so a flight and grabbed my pillow and screamed into it. Turns out he thought it was hilarious. Got laid off a few months later LOL

On a client pitch call, MD’s toddler walks into the background naked and says “I made a poop on the couch”. MD turns pale and goes “I have to step away”. Dead silence for a second until the client starts crying laughing.

There are actually HR and other requirements. Not sure if they are formal but these practices are in place at most companies.

I was on a video call with a client and turned off my camera, but didn’t mute myself, when I yelled to my young kids to stop putting sprinkles on their pizza.

3 years ago. Client meeting on the client's Skype tenant I called out someone on the call for a total BS comment. The person I sent the message to was the person sharing their screen. Because it was client's Skype and not Accenture's the DnD didn't kick in and so it popped up on their screen for all to see. Whoops!

Once I double clicked on an excel file icon and while this file was opening, an already opened excel file was displayed for 4-5 seconds, which had a long list of my credit cards and their numbers. Good that I keep CVV in white font color. I immediately stopped screenshare and closed all of my personal excels... Fortunately it was an internal call with only 2-3 folks.

I tutor ESL after school and recently switched over to Zoom. Students are stating that they are unable to annotate. I’ve read that this is common for Chromebook users. Does anyone know of a way to bypass this and/or any video/picture tutorials? Otherwise, it looks like we’ll just have to add an additional open tab with a google share doc. Many thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.

As things start to open up fully, some of my institutional clients are sending notices that we are expected to do X activity over zoom from here on out (things we used to do in person). Clearly it’s a cost cutting measure. Anyone else feel like filing for telephonic appearance so the insurance company can save a buck isn’t going to sit well with judges who prefer in person attendance? I hope they deny all of them so my billables don’t suffer. Less travel = more desk bs I have to do to hit quota
