'Poor Jennifer' viral video conference fail is a mortifying cautionary tale for all new work-from-home employees (via toofab)
For one, it's distracting to everyone else on the team when there's so much activity happening in one screen. That means all eyes are on you. Oh that also happened to "poor Jennifer," as she was the only one moving during her video conference call. Until she stopped that is.heed its call during a conference call. If you must, either excuse yourself briefly from the call or mute yourself at the very least.
Look, we're in uncharted territory here for a lot of people, and hopefully Jennifer's employer is forgiving as this was clearly a horrible, horrible mistake. Within seconds, the woman clearly figured out what she'd done and shifted the angle."What happened?" said the woman leading the call, who'd missed the whole thing. But team solidarity had Jennifer's back, as no one told her. Instead, they urged her to carry on. Of course, now everyone knows what happened.
Honestly, it could have been much worse for "Poor Jennifer." Yes, this is humiliating, and yes it is now viral. But the video itself was luckily more tame than it obviously could have been. Will she ever live it down? Oh definitely not, and especially among those who know her.
Honestly, you don't even need it to get the life lesson and appreciate her embarrassment. If you're still at all unclear what happened, the below reactions should help clarify things, including some love and support from TV's Lois Lane, Elizabeth Tulloch. Remember friends, always be aware of your surroundings and your person when working from home. Always!
