Without doubt, the most heartbreaking event that can happen to any company in the twenty-first century occurred on a wet Tuesday morning when Priya, a software engineer aged 31 years, attempted to eat some Greek yogurt during a mandatory virtual meeting at the workplace.

Though Priya was knowledgeable about cloud computing technology and other technical terms, she now found herself in the midst of a very difficult struggle to defeat the pressurized plastic cover of her yogurt. All she wished was for it to rip apart a little bit of the cover so that she would be able to get at her meal, but the foil did not make any compromise to her whatsoever.

Attempting to maintain her cool in the virtual meeting, Priya pulled even harder while ensuring that there was no expression on her face at all. After three seconds of tension, something finally gave way as the cover opened abruptly. Immediately afterwards came an explosion of yogurt all over her, which fell squarely on her glasses. Although she did not eat her breakfast with the required degree of corporate decorum, she succeeded brilliantly at learning how to listen to a budget presentation with one eye totally blinded by a dairy product.
