My co-workers husband walked into her office in his boxers 😂 the worst part is she sat there and talked to him on mute for a couple minutes but we could still see them. Probably 30+ employees on the call. No one said a thing but many people turned their cameras off because we were laughing so much.

Joined an early morning call in bed.

That’s so great.

Saw someone in a team meeting check their phone and we all suddenly heard very loud noises you’d hear in a passionate adult video. You could tell he was horrified as his body recoiled and twitched as he quickly turned the volume down. His eyes were as wide as dinner plates and everyone knew what happened and stopped talking. The cringe of the situation was bad and I know he irreparably damaged his work reputation. I’m surprised he didn’t get fired outright.

Had a client facing meeting but wanted to watch Love Island and somehow forgot to put it on mute 😣

The short: Would anyone be up for starting regular virtual co-working sessions? I’m thinking 2-3 rounds of [5 mins to set intentions : 45 mins of work : 10 min break]. The long: One technique I’ve found to stay focused is “body doubling,” i.e., having another person present while you’re working. I’ve had some success replicating this over Zoom/Google Meet. Everyone works on their own thing and stays muted during work blocks, but videos stay on. It reminds me of studying in the library vs at home
