'He has no idea what he's talking about': 30+ Workers who were mortified by their workplace mistakes

Some of you are way too comfortable with the "mute" button on your video calls. Even if I was muted on a call, I don't think I'd ever start yapping about how dumb my boss is, or send snarky DMs about my coworkers during the meeting. It's just too risky! But a lot of people feel the boredom of a 90-minute meeting weighing them down, and they feel like they need to commiserate with their coworkers. 

Other people took a different approach to mid-meeting boredom. Instead of listening to your boss's boss drone on about quarterly figures, you could be searching for your next gig. It seems ill-advised to do that on a work laptop in the first place… but one person had an embarrassing moment when they shared their screen during a meeting, showing off their job search to the entire group!

Up next, read the stunning tale of a couple who were invited to a wedding in Hawaii, only to arrive and realize they weren't invited to either the ceremony or the reception.
