Singapore sentences man to death via Zoom call,

Well then just don't respond to the invite.

[Pearls Before Swine]

That’s like breaking up via a text message.

[Ouchthatonehurt]

Man…what’s the appropriate virtual background for that?

[Responsibility2nd]

Have mercy here. Give him a virtual caning and call it a day.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

How do I get virtual backgrounds on zoom? I don't have any. 🤨

If it were me, I’d set my camera to the fade mode.....

Damn, and I thought Marty McFly being fired by fax was bad.

[wally_bert]

There is a Dilbert strip right there.

Looks like a sniper job.

Man…what’s the appropriate virtual background for that?

[BenLurkin]

Talk about “phoning it in”!

[real saxophonist]

I once got fired over the telephone. Coward-ass bitch couldn’t even do it in person.

Better be good, they fire people via Zoom now too, right in the middle of presentations.

Steak dinner with all the fixins

[Flatus I. Maximus]

And I thought getting downsized by Skype was cold.

[Lurker]

I got fired when I found a note taped to the locked office door.

It wasn’t even signed.

"Man, that's cold"

It's better than having incriminating evidence on the Clintons.
