IT was chips for one hapless boss who got roasted for accidentally turning herself into a potato head during an online meeting.
Lizet Ocampo’s blunder was made worse when she spud-denly realised she had no idea “how to turn the setting off” while speaking to staff.


One of her employees shared the hilarious moment on Twitter, explaining: "My boss turned herself into a potato on our Microsoft teams meeting."
But, she "can't figure out how to turn the setting off, so she was just stuck like this the entire meeting."
After the image went viral, she quickly added: "The good news is that my boss, Lizet Ocampo, will not be sacking me tomorrow.
"We hashed it all out tonight and our team is still laughing with you all.
"Stay planted at home & welcome my potato boss @mlizetocampo."

Lizet, political director at People For the American Way, confirmed on Twitter that she was the potato-head culprit.
She joked: "I yam potato boss. You should see me in a crown, right @billieeilish?"
In a reference to those working from home during the coronavirus pandemic, she added: "I yam glad this is making folks laugh at this time.
"Please stay planted at home and safe!"
