I don't think what Toobin did is the worst thing in the world or that he intended to get caught, but come on, are we actually debating whether inadvertently exposing your penis to colleagues while masturbating on the clock is a fireable offense?

Well, agreed (and I don't) but he thought he was out of the meeting. The camera was off, the mic was off, he was just home alone. Only he was a Boomer and clueless about technology. (I'm a slightly younger Boomer, but I know where all the buttons are.)
He didn't say he tried to leave the call or believed the call was over; he said he tried to mute himself. Which didn't work, and here we are. This is precisely why the general rule is to not masturbate during live work calls.

Compare to "I tried not to hit stuff while driving buzzed." Well, no shit. Did you hit something? Yes, you did.

Well, Imagine this. What if he did manage to mute. Would be a bit weird, but nobody would be that bothered. While I would definitely fire him for not being smart enough to mute properly. I'm not sure I'm too happy with this ban/cancel/fire mentality. There has to be some thought.

I think that's a good rule and I have no problem living by it. I don't say the guy is smart, or doesn't deserve getting fired, I'm just more in the camp of a) I feel sorry for the schmo, and b) I don't think Twitter pile-ons are good things. Mobs don't do restraint or judgment.
