You guys ever take your laptop to the toilet with during org wide meetings?

Well I do. Guess who fuckin farted off mute in the middle of one of leaderships speeches.

Yup, me again. What makes it worse is the toilet bowl echo made it louder than what it was and since camera was off Zoom just pops my name up on everyone's screen.

I'd made a post a couple days back contemplating leaving this job, it's all but set in stone now. I'm not showing up to the end of day team meeting today either, can't look the team in the eyes

Absolutely not. There was a post a long time ago about worst things you have seen in Zoom meetings, and one of mine was watching a customer take a shit. I will never ever ever bring my computer anywhere near a bathroom for multiple reasons.

It's also unsanitary as fuck.

That was one of the most awkward stories I've ever heard.

There was also that viral video of the girl in a university class who took her laptop to the bathroom and didn't turn off video so everyone saw her sitting on the toilet peeing.

Hard pass.

Call me what you want, just sign the damn contract

One of my friends is in grad school. Everyone got a full frontal of some guy taking a shit. Not a good time.

Ugh...why. How do you come back from that? I think I'd just drop out.

At the least. Changing your name and appearance don't seem out of reason either.

RIP. Just be thankful you aren't Jeffrey Toobin. He's still employed for a much more egregious act on Zoom

My bathroom is close enough to my office where my airpods are still in range to listen in just go cam off and mute myself.

Bit of a germophobe, I would wipe down my phone if I used it in the restroom after.

I have gone to the toilet while on mute but it wasn't a camera on meeting, and I was still scared I'd left it off mute the whole time.

Despite being on mute, I opened the door and threw my headset 30ft away from the toilet before farting. Redundancy has kept me alive so far.

No. The risk does not equal the reward. Just use a bluetooth headset and listen from there.

Laptop in the bathroom is where I draw the line. Phone on mute is a different story but laptop no way

Team stand ups normally last max 20 min, with WFH would you rather have your teams camera on or off? What has worked for you to get maximum value from your teams and set the tone for the day?

Anyone else despise the split second on zoom between the time you say bye and the time you click “end meeting?”

If a coworker says "this is the best sandwich ive ever had" and then proceeds to leave his desk for over 20 mins, fair game to take a bite of that umanned godsend of a sandwich?
