The Great Conference Call Disconnection Debacle
Anonymous Sheepish Rascal #364 · General
I’ll admit it, I had a momentary lapse in concentration that resulted in my phone being accidentally unplugged during a major client meeting. My boss’s face appeared as if he were the only one left in the call, and then there was an awkward silence before everyone realized what happened. I tried to explain through chat messages, but it felt like I just dug myself deeper into this hole of embarrassment. How do you deal with professional faux pas like these? Have any of you ever experienced something similar during a work meeting?
