Synopsis

Sorry, That Wasn’t on Mute: The CEO, the Concert, and 69 Other Workplace Scandals
One hot mic. Infinite consequences. Zero accountability.

Welcome to the corporate downfall you didn’t know you needed. In this hilariously raw and wildly relatable satire, a mid-level executive stumbles into the C-suite by being the loudest voice in the room—then proceeds to set the entire org chart on fire with nothing but bravado, buzzwords, and a disastrously unmuted Zoom call.

From branded yoga mats to being publicly outed by a Coldplay jumbotron (yes, really), this former CEO recounts seventy moments of workplace chaos, scandal, and redemption with wit, cringe, and an uncomfortable amount of self-awareness. Each chapter is a standalone disaster: a crash course in bad leadership, corporate dysfunction, and what happens when your career becomes a punchline.

Inside, you’ll find:

  • An intern who writes a better apology than the execs.

  • HR teams waging psychological warfare via wellness bingo cards.

  • A family intervention… about your email habits.

  • And a bean bag that somehow becomes your replacement.

But beneath the memes, Slack meltdowns, and LinkedIn overshares, Sorry, That Wasn’t on Mute is also about something real: the cost of tying your worth to a job title. The absurdity of modern work culture. And the messy, hilarious journey of unbecoming everything you pretended to be—just to figure out who you really are.

For anyone who’s ever been ghosted by a job, side-eyed by HR, or emotionally supported by their dog through a team meeting—this one’s for you.

Because sometimes, losing your job is the best way to reclaim your life.
