re: #222 Kragar

Had a meeting like that where after 90 minutes of BS, one of the managers said we just needed to scrap a whole project and start from scratch. My co-worker thought he was on mute and sang out “CLUSTERFUCK!” across the line, but no one recognized his voice. There was a moment of silence, he slammed on mute, and went to OHFUCKOHFUCK mode.

The guy running the call just sighed, “yeah, sounds about right.”

This is why I am exceptionally paranoid about verifying the mute status of my phone, whether I’m intending on venting my frustrations or not. More often than not, the client gets tied up in the weeds somewhere until I just want to scream, and when I do, I want to make sure I don’t pull one of these. We tend to take a dim view of insulting, threatening, or otherwise abusing our clients.
