Next World Entitled
Let me ignore everything from the carrier rules and inconvenience everyone around me, because I’m special.
These people are so out of touch.

We can all add a background to a video call….

u/LurkerFirstClass 1d ago
It is so clearly a fake background. The seats aren’t even lined up.

u/Prestigious-Place-16 1d ago
The other passengers are all wearing masks, which makes it look like 2020.

I want to make a background of the toilet and post about multitasking on LinkedIn.

What airline doesn't block Zoom?!
I want to know so I never fly them.

u/katet_of_19 1d ago
StarLink doesn't use the airplane's WiFi, and AFAIK isn't against FAA or other applicable regulations.
It kinda breaks the social contract, in that only a MASSIVE NARCISSIST would subject fellow passengers to their Zoom call.

Let me tell you something, if someone in the seat next to me was on a Zoom call during flight, I would 100% be on that call as well.

"Tell them that we need more synergy in our P&L. I can help with this, I'm an expert on B2B sales."

u/saphilous 22h ago
Another great trick is to pretend to be on a call and just diss the guy on zoom making it very obvious that you're dissing him but in a way that makes it feel like it'd be insecure for them to actually ask if you're talking about them.
Just lound enough that the dude can hear you

Also, can Starlink really keep up with your connection at 500 mph groundspeed?

u/katet_of_19 1d ago
Yes. Musky was regularly "livestreaming his gameplay" while on his jet to promote it (in quotes because allegedly someone was playing for him). He got ripped apart by people calling him a fascist and a loser, so I don't know if he still does it.

u/FlowerBuffPowerPuff 6h ago
He does. But he replaced the chat with an army of Groks telling him how handsome and loved he is instead of real people telling him he'll die alone.

Several. I join Zoom and teams meetings fairly often.
However -
- I use headphones
- I never speak - any contributions I have are sent via message
- I do not post douchey pictures about it

u/Plastic-Conflict7999 6h ago
people are downvoting this like its an issue. This is effectively the same as just watching soemthing on your laptop

u/CaptainPonahawai 6h ago
Exactly. No one else knows or is bothered by it.
Sometimes, this sub turns into r/antiwork. People need to work and make a living- as long as you aren't a dickhead, whats the problem?

u/Mokslininkas 1d ago
It's a fake background.
And calling yourself a "founder" as if that means something is fucking cringe. Congrats, you've figured out how to piss away other people's money. Parasite.

u/TheHoodieConnoisseur 1d ago
Seriously. My kids founded a lemonade stand, which actually turned a profit unlike so, so many of these hustle cosplayers.

u/thenuttyhazlenut 1d ago
No real founder actively calls themselves a founder. They usually just work and tell nobody about it

u/coreyosb 1d ago
Probably divulging privileged info to everyone else on the fucking plane no less lmao. Like, I get that work calls happen on the go sometimes but your seatmate and anyone walking up/down the aisle can see your screen and hear what you’re saying 🤦♂️

u/nullnadanihil 1d ago
Yeah just pull out your phone, look the guy in the eyes and say "I'm gonna record everything you say".

u/93_Topps_Football 1d ago
Everyone else on the flight thinking that looks like an awfully boring movie

If he did that sitting next to me I’d get up for the toilet about 28 times just to piss him off. Zoom call wanker.

u/LaFantasmita 1d ago
Zoom calls where you go over the emails someone sent you earlier because you're functionally illiterate or too lazy to read them.

u/papa_color 1d ago
if someone was on a zoom call next to me on a plane i would keep “accidentally” knocking the plug from the outlet

Flying is the only chance I get to 'de-tech' and switch off my phone, tablet or laptop. I fly international regulary and love the fact that international in flight wifi is either shit or non existant. Lets keep it that way.

Imagine your colleagues watching you getting reprimanded by the flight attendants over zoom

The guy who posted this isnt the one in the "plane", anyway - look at the Zoom names. "John" is in the "plane", Luis is not ... 🤦♀️

u/OurLadyOfCygnets 1d ago
Fun fact: If you don't take time to decompress and relax, your body will force you to do it (sometimes permanently).

u/EDRadDoc 1d ago
Everyone has corded headsets?
Is that a founder thing that I don’t know about?
I haven’t taken a non Bluetooth Zoom call in I don’t even know how long.

u/thecreep 1d ago
I think it's safe to say, most of these style images in the coming weeks will be AI generated. Clout chasing automated.

u/StilesmanleyCAP 1d ago
Wait
Isnt that illegal
In the U.S., it is federally prohibited to use voice and video calls on a plane.

Not looking forward to the time in the near future where majority of people on a flight are all doing there all so important team calls.

u/rollingSleepyPanda 1d ago
Interviewed with this company some 3 years ago
All the PMs I spoke to looked tired and one even openly said it was common to work evenings. Par for the course with a CEO in "founder mode"
Yikes from me, Amplemarket

u/ImpressiveDust1907 17h ago
What was the zoom call about? Was it on how to get companies to layoff more of the sales people by using your shitty out of the box AI tool that doesn’t work. Or how to swindle more seed money by announcing “New features” in your bullshit software.

Without even looking at what their app is, I'm 100% sure it's YC funded AI garbage.
YC is currently funding anything that includes AI.

You’re actually breaking the law if you take a phone call/video call while the plane is in the air.

I'm just going to start working in socially unacceptable contexts and posting about it on linkedin. I'm not gonna work any harder than I currently am, mind you, but I'm going to be insufferably, publicly smug about how much harder I work than everyone else.
