Worst thing you have seen on screenshare...

So we have all hands company meetings weekly. A couple years back, one of the cameras was on this lady in our Australia office, and she straight up is coming out of the shower. I wasn't there for it, but heard there were audible gasps and it was realllllllllly awkward.


I would love to hear about any juicy stuff you've had happen...

Didnโ€™t see anything odd in meetings, I mean persons do stupid stuff. Onceโ€™s i should help out an older dude with some marketing stuff (working digital ads) he tried to explain some sorts of things and I didnโ€™t really get it. I allowed him to screenshare at zoom and he typed โ€œPโ€ in his Mozilla browser. I donโ€™t need to go into details about the hitโ€™s โ€” you do the math. And he was a REALLY slow typer on the keyboard ๐Ÿ˜‚ It was hard to keep my face cool.

LOL at the Wikipedia description:

"he was seen lowering and raising his computer camera, exposing and touching his penis, and motioning an air kiss to someone other than his colleagues."

I liked that they stressed that it was to someone other than his colleagues. As if him playing with his junk and air kissing in a company meeting would be A-OK if it was directed at Mindy in HR or Jeff in Finance.

The worst I have seen (not made up) was a rep who legit picked his nose on a client call for a solid 25 minutes. He wasnโ€™t very tech savvy, so Iโ€™m pretty sure he didnโ€™t know he was on camera, but it was hilarious

I was telling my colleague what a douche our Sales Director is on our team call and guess what the man did.ย 

He shared his Slack screen for a whole 30 seconds.ย

Oh, man... Not exactly a screen shares virtually, but one at a national meeting about 7 years ago.ย  Let me set the stage; we were at a medical conference full of professionals from Ph.D.'s, MD's, C-Suite, and company employees.ย  At the time, the vendor I was working for had about 500 of us crammed into a conference room - ready for him to present.

He cuts on his computer, goes the first slide, and turns his back to the presentation.ย  ย While he is discussing the first slide, a very disturbing pop-up came up, followed by a full video of a man (more of a horse) and a female engaging in a position that I still can't explain.ย  Yes, they weren't wearing a stitch of clothing.ย ย 

The crazy thing is that there was obviously a reaction in the crowd, but the presenter must have thought that they were really into his content, even if they were making horrific sounds.ย ย 

Meanwhile, holding back an extreme about of laughter, I walked on stage and closed his computer screen.ย  That got his attention, and he quickly turned to me and asked, "what do you think you're doing?".ย  And then, just like Rob Schnieders character in the water-boy, someone screams from the crowd. "he saved you from the further embarrassment you pervert."ย ย 

I don't think the word is a hero.... primarily because my only regret is not leaving it up there since he turned out to be a complete prick.ย ย

Not as juicy as that, but oh god I still feel cringe from this one.ย 

This was a strategic deal cycle with a major phone company we all know, so this had been three months of rapport building and demoing to lots of different teams. For some reason, even though he was HORRIBLE at demoing and had received feedback to that effect, the rep decided he wanted to demo this meeting - one of the final ones before the RFE process.ย 

Before he started the demo, our champion (who I really liked), decided to just outright show us the scorecard of us versus the competition, and the VP of Sales and him started slacking each other about how they were taking screenshots. And how awesome it was. And they were so glad to take a screenshot.ย 

So then it is demo time. What does the rep share? Slack. And not just a flash of Slack. That sucker was up there for five minutes before the rep figured out how to switch screens.ย 

Sigh.ย

Sales All Hands -Territories were being reassigned and one of the worse performing reps gets pissed when he hears that a foreign country he was trying to work pretty hard got switched to another team and he just screams โ€˜OH FOR FUCKS SAKEโ€™ at the CRO/co-founder and tries to blame it on spilling his coffee He got fired a month later. RIP.
