#PoorJennifer Is The New Work From Home Meme

Working remotely is now our new "normal". While most work is done on your own, from time to time you'll have to conduct a meeting with others. How do you do that? Well, there are several popular webcam apps like Skype, Microsoft Teams, Facetime and even Zoom that can help out. During one company's meeting on Zoom, a woman now coined "Poor Jennifer" must've completely forgotten about her coworkers, as her webcam showed her pulling her pants down, and proceeding to use the bathroom as her co-workers watched and cringed. The moment she realized she screwed up, she turned her camera around immediately.

Here is some commentary from Twitter...

I refuse to pity #PoorJennifer. Jenn is a hero. We are a country—nay a world!—desperate for just a little harmless comedic relief and Jenn stepped up—like a smutty Lucille Ball! Take a bow. Pick up your award and tell the haters, “Hey, shit happens!” 🤷‍♀️ pic.twitter.com/VyWxqNzrs4

Hey Jen, Great job multitasking. Most working moms have done this before and not ashamed to admit it. Pls quit the company you work for. One or more of your coworkers is asshole. Then sue the crap out of them. #PoorJennifer #IStandWithJennifer

Real or fake, #PoorJennifer is a national hero! Among other things, she just saved soooo many people a ton of embarrassment when they start using Zoom to work from home. P̶a̶n̶t̶s̶ Hats off to Jennifer! #Coronaviris #Covid_19 pic.twitter.com/MUHj1P7I0D

Dear #PoorJennifer ,

Do not hide from embarrassment. Instead take ownership, out the coworker who shared this as the creep they are, and know that you brought laughter to thousands in a very dark time. 😂

I will not share the video as that is super embarrassing, but would like to take this time to give you some good work at home tips..

Choose a well lit space where there will be no interruptions and will remind you that you are at "work".
Get dressed as you normally would so you keep a routine going.
Take frequent breaks to prevent fatigue
Stay hydrated!

Got any tips of your own? Would love to hear them! Find me on social at @justPEREZplay.
