Client/MD saw/heard me taking a poop

i am an intern at a EB (think Greenhill level). I started my virtual internship a week ago and was staffed yesterday. like any banking pledge, I have been drinking massive amounts of caffeine to stay awake, causing me to poop multiple times a day. I started the morning with a call with Japanese clients and of course nature called, so I muted my mic and turned on my camera, or so I thought. 2 minutes later I get kicked from the zoom and get a Bloomberg message that the Japanese client is deeply offended by my willingness to showcase such a private moment. He is now considering finding a new bank ... there goes my return offer

In Japanese culture, this is what is known as a power move

To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
 

Why is your bathroom in direct line of sight with your webcam? Why did you leave the door open? This is why you always dial in vs webcam if you have the option.
