Honest Boss: “I got caught not paying attention on a Zoom call. What should I do?”

Remote working has blurred the lines between work and home – sometimes with awkward results. Here, the Honest Boss helps one woman navigate the boundaries.
“I didn’t realise my camera was on during a virtual all-hands meeting and I was lying in bed, barely clothed and watching TV on my iPad. Some close colleagues of mine WhatsApped me to say that they could see me on the call, but I’m not sure if my boss – or any of the other senior members of the team on the call – did. I’m dying of embarrassment and painfully aware of how unprofessional it was of me (but surely everyone pops calls on passively while they do other things around the house, right?) But should I say something?”
