Fired for a good old WebEx mistake

Been at my company for almost 3 years, with some of the leadership from previous jobs going back almost 10 years….. Today in a meeting with a customer using a conference app i wasn't as used to…I clicked off on a few tabs on my 3rd monitor (not realizing it was sharing each and every other window/tab i clicked on).

Been at my company for almost 3 years, with some of the leadership from previous jobs going back almost 10 years…..

Today in a meeting with a customer using a conference app i wasn't as used to…I clicked off on a few tabs on my 3rd monitor (not realizing it was sharing each and every other window/tab i clicked on). For all of maybe 1 second a porn tab was up. Closed it, moved on with the meeting (and 1 more after it)

30 min later my boss calls me, and doesn't even let me say a word before letting me know that this was 'inappropriate content shared, on work hardware , damaging client relationship, so you're done, fired with cause, your access is being cut now' and hung up.

3 years with this small startup company, doing so well that they just gave me a $10k raise a few months ago for being one of the 'important core people' contributing to the company success, and literally last week 15,000 bonus shares. But nope….not a thing matters when it comes to a random NSFW fuckup. Not even a moment given to me for an explanation, or apology.
