Office Communications Faux Pas....What's Yours?

David Spark did a bunch of interviews on communications faux pas in the workplace at Techcrunch Disrupt this week during a party hosted by Yammer.

One forgets just how often an email is fired to the wrong person, the wrong team or from the wrong address. One also forgets important things like webcams which remain on, conference call lines that don't quite hang up entirely, Outlook auto-completes and speaker phones that are not on mute when you think they are. A bunch of industry people were interviewed for the video including myself. It's quite amusing.
