during the WFH heyday of covid, i virtually attended a few meetings where an attendee was attempting to attend more than one meeting simultaneously. “i have double booked meetings, apologies” and then you watch them just sort of be there and occaisionally unmute themselves in the wrong meeting and generate weird crosstalk.
they were exactly the kind of self-important “VIP” asshole that, under normal operational circumstances, contributes nothing but makes sure to take full credit for “team” work, and gets off on the idea that their over commitment is some sign of elevated value.
of course what they are really doing by attending two meetings virtually is disrupting two meetings and acting as a net negative impact on both conversations while demonstrating their gratuitousness to two projects overall. it is also, literally the only time i’ve ever seen a meeting host eject an attendee lmao.
