Forecasts, Pudding Cups, and the Day Pink Calvin Kleins Joined the Meeting

Every Monday, like clockwork, our business development team gathers for what should be a very standard meeting: forecasts, dashboards, “synergies,” and the occasional fake smile that says, yes, I love hearing about revenue streams at 9 AM.

Most of us shuffle into the conference room with coffee in hand, while a few dial in remotely. And then there’s Calvin.

Now, let me set the scene: Calvin is our fearless business development lead, the guy who manages to herd our chaotic crew into something resembling focus. He’s also the magician behind the fancy Power BI dashboards that make leadership oooh and ahhh like they’re watching fireworks at the Fourth of July.

On a personal note (strictly for context, of course), Calvin is a single dad of two who is definitely not in his “dad bod” phase. Picture this: early 40s, sharp jawline, and—if you squint—major Daniel Craig in James Bond vibes. Got it? Good.

Because you’re going to need that mental image for what happened next.

As Calvin launched into quarterly BD projections, we noticed movement in the background of his webcam. Enter: his youngest daughter, who we’ll now lovingly refer to as The Chocolate Pudding Monster.

She strolled into frame holding what once may have been a pudding cup but was now more of a modern art project. No spoon. Just… face. The stuff was in her hair, across her cheeks, and somehow—defying physics—on her elbows.

Unaware of the impending doom, Calvin continued presenting in his stunning blue button-up shirt, while The Pudding Monster closed in like a tiny sticky assassin. And then it happened: she reached out and placed a perfect chocolate handprint right across his shirt.

Calvin, ever the devoted father, immediately stood up to handle the situation. And that’s when the real show began.

Because when Calvin stood, the world discovered something we can never unsee: pink Calvin Klein briefs. No pants.

Let me repeat that: the man who sells million-dollar projects was giving quarterly projections in his underwear.

The room fell silent for exactly one second—before all hell broke loose.

The ladies on the team were delighted.

Our gay marketing intern, Conor, may have fallen in love in real time.

And the rest of us were desperately trying to hold it together while Slack was lighting up like Times Square on New Year’s Eve.

Poor Calvin. As soon as the realization hit, you could see the exact moment his soul left his body. His face turned sheet-white, he panicked, grabbed for his mouse, and sat down so fast you’d think his chair was the eject button on a fighter jet.

Camera off. Meeting over. The legend of Pantsless Calvin had been born.

Calvin may still be mortified, but the rest of us? We are thriving. Because this is the content we live for in 2025 corporate life.

We’ve all had WFH mishaps—forgetting to mute, pets walking across keyboards, kids screaming in the background. But Calvin’s pink-briefs-meets-pudding-monster combo was the holy grail: embarrassing, wholesome, and just a little spicy.

It’s proof that no matter how many dashboards you build, how many charts you show, or how James Bond you look on a Monday morning, none of us are safe from the chaos of remote work.

And honestly? We wouldn’t have it any other way.
