- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

This is my go-to as well. "I'm sorry, my audio dropped out, I didn't quite catch that".
"No no, the last few minutes. Not just the last word. My Internet really sucks at the moment"
"Ich habe Sie akustisch nicht verstanden."
Just in case you are on with the German clients and you need the correct expression.

I’m stealing this. This is smooth as fuck.
So glad that my team is largely composed of busy tech folk because going "Sorry I was multitasking" is a valid response haha.
Unless you've got some guy who knows multitasking is a bunch of bullshit and you just weren't paying attention and is enough of a dick to say it
It really sucks that that makes you a dick, but yeah...
Calling people out for lying about spacing out during boring and mostly meaningless meetings is kinda a dickish move. Worker solidarity and all.
It makes sense to do it if you're management, I guess, but even then... Help each other out. Middle management has more in common with the lower level workers than they do with upper management.

Multitasking (or multipasking as it is known to Finnish speaking people) is not bullshit, but trying to focus on several things at once and fucking up each one of them.

Disassociate from a group, dissociate in your brains
For some of us, it’s both.
Can everyone see my screen?
Yes, but you accidentally shared the one with the porn.
And your taste sucks, smh
Sucking is kinda the point though.

I read it as a wild and free traveling cowboy, tricked by a sneaky man dressed as a rabbit. The rabbit-man invites him to a zoom call which in this world is inescable, bringing him to his fate as the boring businessman man in the last panel.
Are you an office drone dreaming you're a cowboy or a cowboy dreaming you're an office drone?
Sorry, I'm here but I'm not all there.
Fuck zoom
Guys, I'm embarrassed but I got to ask: can someone explain how it should be understood?
No, I'm not making fun of it. I legitimately don't understand it and I would like to.
From the other comments I get it's something about video calls at home and maybe people yelling while on them? I'm confused because the guy walking on the horse is also relevant (perhaps in minding his business and being disturbed by others yelling)?
man was dissociating during a work zoom call while thinking about dissociating and whether it was "dissociating" or "dissasociating". he was pulled from his daydream by the person in the call asking him if Thursday was good. then they're all waiting for his answer and he doesn't even know what was asked.

Fuck. I hate this. Stop it.
This is how wfh can be for people who aren’t able to wfh productively.
The people who zone out will do so in person as well. I am that person.

Or sometimes it's wise to filter out when some of your colleagues are filling out meeting time with nonsense. You only get brain fatigue and get nothing for it.

Sorry people are piling on you! Tbh, I think your comment is more or less innocuous. I think it never helps to dig into it when people downvote lol
I really don’t think you deserved a lot of the harsher type comments, just my two cents
I appreciate your comment. I wasn’t trying to be all “you should work, kids these days!” Or anything like that. Obviously I could have just ignored them, but sometimes we gotta die on the hill.
I think a lot of people don’t have a good working environment, and this hit home for them.
I get that people space out. Everyone does it at some point. My takeaway from all this is that I’m really glad I work with a group of people who respect each other and really want to help their fellow coworkers do the job they’ve been paid to do, so we all can pay rent.
Disassociate from somebody, or something you are associated with. Mentally dissociate. Is that right?
You're on mute!
This feels like the ending to Terry Gilliam's Brazil (the real ending, not the Americanized bullshit version).
The two prefixes (dis and as) mean the opposite, so when you choose one you need to remove the other
