Attempting to access the keyboard in order to physically unmute the mute button for the HR director in a live conference spanning five continents, while being yelled at and called "incompetent" for "not knowing how to do my work", in front of the entire board of directors, by the HR director, was probably the longest goddamn minute, can confirm.
I had this near exact situation happen. I turned around and in a calm tone told her “I need to to stop trying to do my job over my shoulder and if that’s an issue I can get my director to come and resolve this for you” (my it director and her were buddies) she became silent in shock I assume. Resolved the issue a minute later (video feed issue). Walked back to my office and got fired for my comment 2 hours later.
Wow, that's fucked up.
everyone treats these anecdotes like funny little isolated instances but they really paint a constellation of just how oppressed we all are in many tiny ways. people just accept the massively biased power balance as normal.
idk what’s wrong with us man. all this time and we’re still here bopping each other on the head.
"You're on unmute."
'So de-unmute me, come on!'
