MD saw me naked via Zoom - virtual internship - what do I do?
Hi Monkeys,
I have started my virtual summer internship this week. Today, before a Zoom with my team I logged early on to the call to make sure I do not miss anything, leaving my computer to change from my PJs to a formal dress code. Half way through dressing up I discovered that my camera was still on...
Of course, I run to mu computer to switch the camera off, but clearly there were people on the call including my MD. I am sure of them noticed that I was changing, but did not want me to make me feel embarrassed and did not say anything. What should I do?
If you are a female, I would like to congratulate you on securing a return offer.
Came here to say this
guys don't wear pajamas
AHAHAHAAHAHA my thoughts exactly. Good job OP, way to "put it all out there"
Yeah facts you can’t fumble the bag now
Believe me, Katie is fine
Hi Katie
delete
yikes- how is it that even when return offers are this lax that ppl still find ways to screw up?
Aren't zoom calls stored in the cloud? Is it possible to share the video with us so we can better judge what you need to do next/and if there will be any repercussions for you?
Thanks. You can PM me the vid if you don't want it on a public forum. Happy to view it for you.
HR has entered the chat.
Op - no worries. Just don’t mention it. If someone does, just make a joke out of it and shrug it off. You’ll be fine.
Good Luck
But butt... all those compliance videos I watched !
i read this as "compilation videos" at first
I’m not sure if you’re joking or not. If OP isn’t a troll nor a woman he is definitely not fine. If I were OP I’d move to Cleveland/Baltimore and never work in banking/finance again this has to be the worst story I’ve ever heard in over 25 years in this industry. Some people have an incredible lack of attention to detail. Disappointing.
stuff happens. probably won’t be negative for you.
Kate, I was thinking about how to address this. Don't bring it up at work and pretend it never happened. You did great work for us this summer.
Now to bring some humor to the situation: I was initially caught off-guard by your spongebob squarepants pjs. Now I can't play that show for my son anymore.
You have a son whos old enough to watch spongebob? at 22?
This is clearly BS since OP said they just started work this week.
how could they have done "great work for us this summer"?
congrats you figured out something obvious
want a cookie?
I'm actually dead if people seriously know who this is and are commenting about it. Too funny. There is no way this is actually a big deal though, don't worry OP.
Same thing happened to me except it was only the VP and 2 other Analyst on the call. Dw we just joke about it sometimes now
Hi Claire
Claire? who’s Claire? I’m Taylor lol
Nah hahah no way.. this whole thread & people saying they know her has to be cap. Esp bc banks don’t use Zoom for privacy
Every BB bank in the US that I know of has zoom for business and webex...
We do use zoom and/or webex - though when you get on a call by default camera is off and you have to agree that the call will be recorded for compliance purposes
who uses zoom? at a US BB rn and all we have is webex with the fucking "call me"
Currently on a Goldman zoom call w a management team.
don't accidentally lose your clothes mate

I bet that the poor MD was looking for the "donate" button...
Pics.... or it didn't happen!
Might not be the first time he's seen an intern naked, but as the saying goes never be the first never be the last
When you meet your MD ,just pretend as nothing had happened during call. I am sure even they don't want to come with this conversation.
Ask to see his. Them's the rules.
Cracking up
You can do what they did. Act like It never happened. . . .
It will just be a funny story to tell your friends in a couple of years. It happened to a lot of people during this lockdown: some took their laptops while they were taking the morning dump. And people tend to cut a lot of slack to interns
