Tough Talk,
Due to the recent situation, I now have to have teleconference at work. One of my colleagues is always goofing off, or walking out or eating or doing something to interfere with the meeting. One time it sounded like he was doing his business on the toilet. (Not sure, but I wouldn’t put it past him.) Another time, it sounded like X-rated material was in the background. Everyone is just ignoring it, but it’s getting out of control. “We’ve got a business to run, can’t you see?” TT I need your guidance on this. What should I do. (Hood, IN)
Hood,
It’s really simple. The next time something comes up like this, don’t ignore it, but ask him what is going on. “Are you taking a dump good buddy, while you’re on video? Are you out of your mind?” Put the ball in his court and have him explain what you’re seeing and hearing. And no matter what he says, just start laughing. Once you break the ice, everyone will join in. Just watch. It will be a feather in your career cap and you will be toasted throughout your realm.
