When Job Hunting Goes Public: A Screen Share Disaster

So, this happened today... I was presenting my screen to my manager to discuss next quarter's goals, and everything was going fine until it wasn’t. As soon as I minimized the presented tab, there it was: my job hunting tab, sitting smack dab in the middle of the screen, shining bright like a diamond for my manager to see. He asked about it, and I panicked. Words started spilling out: “Umm... research... growth... industry trends!” And just as I fumbled to close the tab, I somehow managed to open my resignation letter draft instead. If only Ctrl+Z worked in real life. 🙃 Lesson learned: 1. Always use incognito mode for job hunting. 2. NEVER multitask during office calls. TL;DR: The job hunting tab popped up during a screen share with my manager, and panic mode activated. Always use incognito and never multitask in meetings!
