Manager: Hey, quick one. Can you stay back for a minute after this call?
Employee: Sure.
Manager: First, thank you for staying muted throughout the meeting.
Employee: No problem. I was just listening.
Manager: Yes… about that.
Employee: About what?
Manager: Even though you were muted, your face was not.
Employee: Sorry?
Manager: Your facial expressions were very loud.
Employee: I did not say anything.
Manager: You didn’t have to. Every time someone spoke, your face gave a full response.
Employee: I was just reacting internally.
Manager: Unfortunately, it was extremely external.
Employee: So what are you saying?
Manager: Going forward, I appreciate you staying muted, but I’m also going to need you to turn your camera off.
Employee: You want me off video?
Manager: Yes.
Employee: Because of my face?
Manager: Because your face keeps submitting feedback no one asked for.
Employee: That is actually fair.
Manager: Thank you for understanding.
Employee: I genuinely forgot my face has subtitles.
@SayreBedinger Probably not going to see this Sayre, the Broncos just beat every team in the NFC East that beat them in the Super Bowl. You're welcome.
@elonmusk I suggest you have an alternate Super Bowl halftime show and broadcast it on X. I'm certain a lot of groups would be willing to do it. @johnrich@catturd2
