A worker has shared the hilarious moment her boss forgot to mute himself on a Zoom call, leading to an awkward conversation with his cat. The employee, posting on Reddit, revealed she overheard her boss talking to his feline companion, Mr Whiskers, saying, 'You're the only one who gets my vision.'
The boss then proceeded to rant about a colleague, referring to 'Jenkins in accounting' as a 'spreadsheet goblin who's tanking my vibe.' The worker admitted she was 'screaming' with laughter at the unexpected outburst.
The Reddit thread garnered hundreds of comments, with users finding the situation amusing. One commenter suggested the boss might be a nice person despite the rant, writing, 'If that is the level of a boss s**t talking to his cat about work b***s***, he and the cat need to be treasured.' Another joked, 'I am an accountant working with a lot of spreadsheet goblins and they will forever more be known as the spreadsheet goblins on Monday.'
This is not the first Zoom mishap to go viral. In 2021, a maths professor at the National University of Singapore spent two hours lecturing only to realise his microphone was muted the entire time. The professor's shocked reaction when a student informed him was widely shared online.
