Took a call from my bath if that counts? Had an appointment with my bubble bath before a client decided to call me

Pls fix your question

1.) Had to give a client presentation while having explosive diarrhea. Thankfully was not on video but had to lead the call with a software demo and answer questions. I vividly remember muting my my mic on zoom throughout to blast away. It was hard to catch my breath. Worst part was not being able to get off the toilet until the call ended.
2.) had a client go live scheduled and had to to production data loads and be on the phone while playing a round of mini golf with friends in upstate ny

#1 - I have def been in that same scenario 😂

Cruise ship or at a major theme park. I had to be very quick on the mute when I wasn’t speaking. So thankful for modern day ambient noise suppression on microphones.

“Double booked” meaning - zero work/life boundaries 😂

While a family member was in the ICU - took a call in the waiting room. Client heard a code blue called and asked where I was. They told me we should reschedule (partner had said call must go on).

Wow, smh. I’m so sorry.

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?
