Ever wanted to relive the horror and awkwardness of work from home meetings off the clock?

A TikTok posted by user @corporayshid allows you to do just that. The video, which was uploaded on Wednesday, is a scarily accurate portrayal of the first five minutes of every work from home meeting.

In the TikTok, @corporayshid can be heard using cursed phrases like "happy Wednesday," "one of those weeks," "daily walk," and "ping him." Who among us can't relate?

As of Thursday morning, the TikTok had more than 682,000 views and more than 75,000 likes. It's also making its rounds on Twitter, but before you check it out, please beware. You may see yourself in this TikTok and you may not like it.

The TikTok account, which has more than 23,000 followers and 876,000 likes, is primarily dedicated to posting comical videos about corporate life.

The video meeting TikTok in particular managed to capture the vibe of a work from home meeting so well that watching it made people feel like they were actually at work. (We won't blame you if you have to stop watching.)

TikTok user @bodybysummer commented, "If I'm going to watch this, I need to be on the clock because this feels exactly like work." Another TikTok user @casteezy wrote, "listening to this and charging my company for the overtime." Even Dave Jorgenson, the creator who runs the Washington Post's TikTok account, tweeted about the video's relatability.

It's concerning that we all become the exact same person when it comes to work from home meetings, but will we change our ways? Probably not.
