‘I was NOT on mute’: Guy gets caught in 4k cursing his coworkers when he forgets to mute his mic during a meeting

Back in the day, people with stage fright could conquer their fears by imagining the crowd in a more vulnerable state than themselves. Picturing an audience of strangers in their whitey-tighties is far more embarrassing than stumbling over your words into the mic, right? But nowadays, stage-scared people can no longer use this timeless tactic because we have a new beast to tackle: Zoom calls. 

If you're anything like me, live video calls with your coworkers are the zenith of your stage fright woes. To prepare for a meeting, you need at least 30 minutes of anxiety and must always prepare at least a 2-hour decompression to wash away the cold sweats of the call after it's all over. Why are Zoom meetings so unnerving? Well, you can never really trust your mic. 

The guy in our next story lived out every employee's worst fear after exclaiming his frustrations on a video call and accidentally broadcasting his annoyance to the entire company. Scroll for the entire hair-raising story of workplace cringe.
