A complaint

I’ve done two conference call/webinar type of things in the last two days. You know the kind of thing where you call into a conference call, then listen and watch on the web as a vendor does a presentation of their new product. Well in both of these events there were a small handful of people who apparently never heard of the mute button on their phone. You could hear them shifting around their desk, talking to other people in the room, or, in one case, just breathing! I missed small parts of each presentation because of these people’s background noise.

The real kicker is that at the beginning of today’s conference call they actually asked everyone to please mute their phones during the presentation, and it still was just as full of background noises as the one yesterday! C’mon people get with the program!
