One of my colleague is in trouble... He yelled "I don't give a fuck " in a zoom meeting. He told me he thought his mic was muted.

No is not. You fucked up.

I mean…

@atrabilious he is our voice tho. But still fucked up.

@johnmelodyme yeeeeah, but he earned instant cred with half the room. The other half are going to HR. How did everyone not bust out laughing, I know I would…or start clapping.

I’d just say i was yelling at someone in my house. :)

Did they finally fire him? Maybe Facebok will take him back

@TeachMeCode for this guy no.

@TeachMeCode Former senior Facebok engineers have the right to do whatever they want

I've yelled at my daughter when not on mute before. What made it slightly more awkward was a team member on the call has the same name...

It shouldn't be a problem. In fact I wish people were more direct (but not to the point of being extremely rude). Think how much resources could be saved on a daily basis if people were to e.g. interrupt the stupid nonsense someone is vomiting during a meeting and wasting the time of let's say 10-15 people, who can actually do something productive and - let's not forget! - profitable for the company. I myself am pretty direct and had many conversations with people on a higher level then me. Only one of my bosses was a decent chap in this regard. He told me once: I know I can come to you and get the information I want and need without beating around the bush. I left a year later, he left 2 years later that company I was working for at that time. LOL

Given the new environment (COVID) we have been adapting too, I would not consider this a "you're in trouble" especially if it's happening inside the company that is no client is involved.
