Employees heard their boss having an awkward conversation with his cat after he forgot to mute himself on Zoom.

A woman on the team has revealed the embarrassing moment her boss started talking to his feline friend Mr Whiskers and even spilled his true feelings about some of his workers.

In a Reddit post titled “Overheard my boss in a Zoom meeting and I’m dead”, the woman wrote: “My boss forgot he wasn’t muted. Dude says to his cat, ‘Mr. Whiskers, you’re the only one who gets my vision’.

“Then he proceeds to rant about how ‘Jenkins in accounting is a spreadsheet goblin who’s tanking my vibe’. I’m SCREAMING.”

People reading the thread couldn’t get enough, with some person admitting it “made their day”, and others branding it “pure gold”.

One user wrote: “Are you hiring? I’d be there screaming alongside you, co-worker.”

The original employee quipped: “Drop your resume and a cat treat and you’re hired.”

Although the boss was badmouthing an employee, some people felt he deserves a bit of leeway if he’s otherwise a good employer.

They argued: “This is pretty funny. I wouldn’t even be p***** if I was Jenkins, would just sign all my emails off as the Goblin.

“If that is the level of a boss s*** talking to his cat about work bulls***, he and the cat need to be treasured. Seems like a cool environment.”

And another person insisted the call has already inspired him.

They added: “Thank you for sharing spreadsheet goblin. I am an accountant working with a lot of spreadsheet goblins and they will forever more be known as the spreadsheet goblins on Monday.”
