Employee accidentally swears at boss during Zoom call thinking he's on mute: 'Hope I still have a job tomorrow'

At this point, folks, we should not be having mishaps and mixups over Zoom. We all know where the mute button is, and we've all been doing these remote calls for quite some time now. 

That being said, our hearts still go out to this employee, who was given a ton of extra responsibility from his boss during a team call when he already had a packed schedule. The Redditor, who was not on camera during the call, responded and said he was on it. He then proceeded to swear at his boss for dumping all of this extra work on him thinking he was on mute… but of course, he was not.

The best part is that he didn't fully realize he wasn't on mute until a few minutes later, when he sneezed and another employee on the call said, "Bless you." Yikes!
