I’m 99% certain I lost a job I was really interested in, because my internet was experiencing service degradation during the video interview and it was affecting my stream.
This also happened to me. I had an interview on the phone in which I got amazing feedback. I then had my second interview online and had trouble with my audio. After that, they ghosted me.
I understand that, in many ways, ghosting is normal. Still, that first call’s feedback made me think they wanted to hire me.
Well yeah they’re haunted.
And today another finding in the series: “humans are stupid”.
Is this a surprise though?
How am I supposed to feel about my coworker who has a broken headset and I only hear about 75% of what he says, (because it cuts out), and that his absolutely terrible microphone has me listening to him heavy breathing.
He could put in a free ticket to get a free headset, or just make everyone’s life more difficult every single time they interact with him.
Or about my “wfh” coworker that is always 100% of the time in a car, or a loud af coffee shop so I have to repeat myself many times during, and after the meeting because they weren’t paying attention.
The “glitches” if they are constant are a priorities issue not a freak occurrence.

Hey, so have you or any of your coworkers ever voiced your concerns to him? Most people aren’t recording themselves through their setup just to see how it sounds unless they’re a professional announcer or something.
If you haven’t, you’re judging him for poor communication on your part.
Yeah, I believe it. People negatively judge on anything.
Do people stare at the faces when in a work call and notice glitches? What information are you getting from that? I’ve always mainly looked at the presenter’s screen share and/or other windows on my own screen because that’s where the problem and information being discussed are.
