That’s why I made my work buy me a wireless headset.
That way when I’m locked in a 5 hour call for something I have no input on or care about I can at least get up and make myself a few cups of coffee

You are living my nightmare.
Do you ever have to note or recall information afterwards? Because for me it wouldn’t be the sitting in a call for 5 hours part that would be the problem, it would be someone asking me to tell them anything that happened in it that would be the problem. I couldn’t even tell you who was in it
What headset are you using? I’ve got a big ass nose cancelling headset I use on my personal computer, but it’s a bit much for work - especially since I have to be on camera occasionally.
So you’re telling me there’s are jobs where i don’t have to do anything for 5 hours at a time?
No there are jobs that have 5 hour meetings while you watch your backlog pile up an extra 5 hours
They won’t give us wireless ones unless there’s some kind of medical exception… The managers get them but we don’t. I would buy my own but every time I try to use any of my own equipment IT freaks the fuck out about it
We learned the magic words at my company.
Health and safety
Say that and they back down.
My work take h&s super serious. He’ll just today the upper management held a 90 min meeting right across lunch time that included a segment on how important it is that you get away from your PC during lunch.
