Just experienced this with one of my coworkers in the Netherlands. He lit up a cigarette mid-call in a very casual manner.
In my country smoking has gotten to be pretty taboo and smoking in a business context, especially a meeting, isn’t generally accepted and frowned upon.
While there’s no rules against it, I feel like it’s been something that people tend to not socialize in those contexts.
Curious if that’s typical in parts of Europe or he just an IDGAF kinda guy (which he is).
