So glad that my team is largely composed of busy tech folk because going "Sorry I was multitasking" is a valid response haha.

Unless you've got some guy who knows multitasking is a bunch of bullshit and you just weren't paying attention and is enough of a dick to say it

Multitasking (or multipasking as it is known to Finnish speaking people) is not bullshit, but trying to focus on several things at once and fucking up each one of them.

"multipasking" is brilliant!

It really sucks that that makes you a dick, but yeah...

Calling people out for lying about spacing out during boring and mostly meaningless meetings is kinda a dickish move. Worker solidarity and all.

It makes sense to do it if you're management, I guess, but even then... Help each other out. Middle management has more in common with the lower level workers than they do with upper management.

Oh. Thanks. The scenario I had in mind was kinda the opposite.

The dickish part is making a big deal about it in the video call, not acknowledging the reality itself
