Nothing terrible but I’ve seen some extremely hungover people before. The “id pay you to shoot me rn” look

during a pretty important clinical meeting with two VPs, buncha directors, ect. our contract manager had her video on and didn’t know— they were walking around in a pretty skimpy sleepwear outfit around their pretty dirty apartment. everyone but the speaker was off video so it was popped to the top lololol

Some lady accidentally turned on her camera - she was using her phone - and was ripping a dart.

My ex boyfriend fell asleep during a call (off video), and started snoring! His boss woke him up at the end of the call (it’s a small company, so not a big deal!)

Was not on video but I forgot to mute myself before taking a very slow and huge bong rip. From flick of the lighter to the slow and steady bubbling to the muffled coughs it was all audible. No one ever said anything.

Client had his shirt off (male). Someone messaged him and the camera went off.

We had a very important client meeting with the client and all the advisors on the call and at some point we hear someone start a call with her insurance company, go on hold (hold music) and proceed to give them her date of birth and address. She had dialled in from her phone so there was no name and we didn’t know who it was. People kept trying to get her attention but she’d clearly put our call on mute. We had to end the call for everyone and ask the 20 people on it to dial back in so that she would be dropped.

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

Debating between an offer from 200 employee company vs

The smaller company has good benefits, great wlb and a great culture per Glassdoor reviews. But its an HR software and not easy to sell.
Compensation is similar.
