FAQ
Q: Is it because the CEO's cat is still on mute?
A: No, that's not it. (Or is it? Maybe it's the cat, we can't rule that out.)
Q: Is it because the coffee machine is out of order?
A: No, the coffee machine is working fine. Although, it's possible that the caffeine-fueled productivity it's producing is just too much for us to handle.
Q: Is it because the meeting was scheduled before video calls were a thing?
A: That's possible. We're working on it. Maybe just go ahead and use your imagination, like we do.
Q: Is it because the IT department is still on a smoke break?
A: That's a good one. Maybe we should just blame it on them.
Or, if you want to get real answers, try asking the meeting organizer. Maybe they'll have some actual reasons, or maybe they'll just make something up. Your call.
