When Conference Calls are In Real-Life

Daily Musings Work - Meeting

How appropriate, I was just from a 3-hour conference call.

I'm sure when the question "Who likes attending conference calls?" is asked that only four kinds of people would be likely to raise their hands.  One, the company's CxO level employees, because more or less they own the company and that it is also the perfect time to rub in their x270 salary gap with the rest of the employees.  Secondly, the middle management guys because it's the perfect time to rub elbows with the big guys upstairs hoping to be part of their elite circle someday.  Third, the slacker type employees who excel in finding excuses not to do his job (we all know of at least one).  Lastly, the weirdo who likes to breath heavily into the phone and gets his kicks listening to people's voices.

*ping*
Host:  Who just joined the call?
<silence>
Host:  Who just joined the call?
<hahhh hahhh hahhh>
Host:  I can hear you breathing?
<silence>
Host:  Who is this?
<<hahhh hahhh hahhh>
Host: ...

Hit the jump to see the funny clip.



*30 minutes after the last known person left the call
Host:  Is there still someone in the call?  
<silence>
<hahhhhh>
