Was sharing screen for internal call when I zoned out and started texting my girlfriend on screen
Winner. Lets shut this contest.
Well, what did you write? Very curious :D
I (F) accidentally reacted with the heart emoji instead of thumbs up to my manager (M) during the standup in front of everyone
Did that lead to your current employment status?
😭😭😭well no… but it surely made things awkward
2010 first day at project I join after training. Desk allocated next to boss but work not allocated yet. Take the newspaper out of the bag cross legs open it wide and start reading. Sniggers and gasps on the floor. Everybody knows a fresher had joined 😅
Everybody knows a fresher has joined.
Assuming you didn't know you were sitting beside your boss and ignoring the "cross-legged" body language.
If you were to advise your younger self, 13 years into the workforce, what would you suggest he should have done instead?
Would not have advised anything. It's not in my list of regrets.
Was sitting without my shirt but my camera was off. I started my screen share and opened a new tab and a new meeting tab opened by mistake. Everyone saw me through screen share even though my camera was off. It was embarrassing.
Because, I saw this happen to a colleague today. 😂
What you do when you meet you manager or manager's manager in washroom?
And pls share other awkward office tales in the comments.
I just referred to my manager as an idiot to another colleague on WhatsApp web without realising I was sharing my screen. 🥲
In my case - a person got laid off at work on the same day as their wife
