Sorry, could you rephrase that? I'm a bit distracted right now and can't quite process it.

Hey, the guy is a multi-tasker, he should be praised! What wrong with doing a little weed-whacking when the meeting gets boring?

There's definitely a point to be made that working from home is blurring the lines between personal and professional spaces in a way that is undesirable, but this dude getting caught yanking his pecker during a work conference call isn't the poster child we need.

It's a little weird. It's seems like a "thumbing your nose at the man" kind of thing.

And the objective of the Zoom meeting was an "election simulation" - perhaps Toobin misread those words, and thought that he was doing what was required....

Or do like I do and put a bit of duct tape over the camera.

Neither would have worked in Toobin's case. According to the information in the Vice article, Toobin at one point actually appeared to manipulate his camera to specifically point downward at his manhandling, meaning that while he may not have intended the Zoom conference to be seeing what he was doing, he definitely intended someone to be.

Could there be a more embarrassing way to lose a job?
Probably, but still . . .
And, as humorous as the incident is to us - I am now wondering about his future. How will he - handle himself - during this ordeal? I imagine suicide is an option, but I know little about the man, other than this.
