The chairman has not activated the call, please wait.....

Teleconference calls are the bane of my life, which is why a comedy video of a teleconference, acted as if it was a physical meeting, was hilarious but disturbingly accurate.  Attendees were soothing children, playing on-line games and randomly wandering in and out, all while pretending to participate in the meeting.   On a genuine call last week, many of my colleagues had phones without a mute facility so we could hear children crying, sheep bleating and trains thundering past. We even had a thunderstorm causing people to drop in and out of the call.

Amusing? Definitely. Effective communication? Absolutely not!

"I'm on the train"
