 His flatmate turned on his video and left the room... What entailed later was not pretty

Crazy office party stories

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Had a weird job interview experience a few days ago, for a pretty senior-ish PM position. This was the first round interview with the team after a basic recruiter round.

Hiring manager joins the call on his phone with camera off. Sure no problem. 

He was presumably on AirPods with terrible sound quality, and his internet connection was terrible too. I could hear 2 out of 5 words.

I pointed it out immediately, thinking that he would change his internet connection or something. But it continued throughout the interview. 

I kept telling him that I can't hear him to either repeat himself or point out that its his internet connection. 

This ended up breaking the flow of the conversation.

He turned on video during the interview, I even told him to switch off his video to improve the quality. Barely improved even then. 

Still told him that I can't hear him. He even changed his room to see if it helped. Didn’t. He should've been embarrassed by now? 

He didn’t suggest an alternative — to move to a phone call or reschedule later, wondering whether I should have. I've never faced this before, so didn’t know what was appropriate.

Then towards the end, puts on his video again and I see that he is eating something. 💀 

I don’t know if this is normal???

If he was so busy, he could've possibly rescheduled instead of wasting both our time. He chose the time. 

I know it's an employer's market, but how bad is it?

This is not specific to Software Engineer, but in general, what was the piece of work that you contributed to directly/indirectly. Also were you appreciated/recognised for the same?

What is the craziest office rumor you've heard that turned out to be true?

Let me go- 
Coworker who used to lie a lot and spread rumours. Like they'll make up a story in their head, and start telling random things. Once she pinged everyone saying that I got engaged, and I suddenly started receiving texts in company groups 🤷🏾

What are some of the worst habits of your coworker?

Nothing major, but this bothers me a lot!

The funniest shit happened at the office today. I was at my desk after lunch, vibing to "Like That(Remix)" by Kanye West and writing some test cases for this CI/CD I am setting up for a new feature. 

My friend calls me up and says that there is a BlinkIt parcel that I need to collect from the front desk. I'm like Bro I am busy right now. He says it's an emergency. I am like Okay.

So, I collect it from front desk and now he asks me to bring it to the WC. I am like bro wut?? 
He's like he needs it ASAP. So I oblige lmao.

I come to know that he has ordered Track Pants from BlinkIt because he shit his pants. Apparently, he had some street food yesterday and his stomache got upset. He had an in-person meeting and he wanted to leave for washroom because of his diarrhea. But he couldn't because he was presenting. Unfortunately, by the time that meeting got over he ran towards the WC. Yet, he was too late and ended up ruining his pants. 

This might be the funniest shit I have experienced. My private group on Teams is blowing up lmao.
