I’m in a corporate meeting, and a company wide question was asked. My dumbass responded with ‘yo mama’. It just happened and I swear I didn’t mean to fucking say it.
They were asking about Projected percentages and our solutions to overcome negative variance that we are currently facing. When it came to me, I didn’t realize that my mic was on before that, so I just said ‘Yo Mama’ as a kicker before I would unmute and share a real answer. When I heard my response echo in the background, I fucking froze. I was thinking “shit shit shit, fuck. I’m fired, I’m so fucking fired.”
Meanwhile my manager is just laughing her ass off at me, almost rolling because she’s never in her 25 years heard anyone respond that way.
The silence, the fucking silence. I might be screwed guys.
“TL;DR:” I yelled ‘yo mama’ in a corporate meeting today.

I think your fine, if you have a decent relationship with your manager just talk to them, explain it’s just a stupid thing you do before you unmute to break the tensions. Everyone has their method to the madness this is yours. If you do it respectfully you’ll be fine.
At most that’ll be a warning.
Unless you’ve got several warnings or write ups & on your final written warning you’ll be fine.
I doubt you’d get fired—maybe a slap on the wrist at most if it was a really professional setting or if it upset someone. Honestly, most people were probably just shocked and may have found it kinda funny.
