With wfh I could be in meeting and just mute and shut video off while I relieve myself. If someone asks me to chime in during the act I could pinch off and be on the mic in 30 seconds.
- throwanem 2y agoThe real most dangerous game.
- anyfoo 2y agoI agree with what you've said before, but I still usually wait for the meeting to be over when working from home. The fear of accidentally unmuting, or not having muted correctly to begin with, is too high. It's an expected value thing: The failure case is unlikely, but when it hits, it hits awkwardly. (While also not being the end of the world, which factors into me saying "usually".) It is however unequivocally true that I much, much prefer going to the bathroom at home.
