So at the end of the workday, we had a multi-department meeting to discuss some much-worried-about reorganization within the company. (It's a very large company, and these things seem to happen frequently, but this was a fairly significant one.) Our acting VP was talking to us; the room was pretty full, but a few people who weren't in the office had called in so that they could participate.

If you're at all familiar with conference calling, you probably have an idea of what's coming...

So anyway: acting VP discussing reorganization...when we hear one of the people who had called in talking on the speaker. VP goes quiet, just in time for all of us to hear "long-winded" and "not really telling us anything." All of the 50+ people in the room erupted in laughter.

Moral of the story? If you're going to talk during a conference call, always make sure your mute button is on!

I'm witness to many a mute button flub via conference call at my office. tongue
Fortunately I don't think anyone's really pulled a quality "Wanna get away?" moment, though.
