Generally curious how many companies offer phone reimbursement? My last gig did not but the current one does. Legally it seems, all employers are required to do so if we use our phone in literally any capacity (video call, slack, teams, emails etc). How prevalent is the issue of not reimbursing phone dues?

I truly feel like some people get upset if you don’t have exclamation points or emojis in Teams/Slack messages. I just don’t see how when I don’t do that, my messages can be perceived as mean? Some people need to get a grip lol

After an interview I always have the question “Do you use Slack?”. And if the answer is no, I say what do you use? If the answer is Microsoft Teams, I will walk out.

If I get another Slack or Teams message that says “I know you’re busy but…” I am gonna lose it. If you know I am busy go ask someone else or email me and I will get to it when I am not as busy. The apology doesn’t make you any less rude or disruptive it actually just tells me that you just don’t have any respect for my time. This is the cause of burnout…

Pet peeves: I'm now officially not responding to any Teams/Slack messages with anyone who only ask how I am/"happy <insert day>" and waiting for my response without also getting to what they want. Just get to the ask. The exception is the coworkers who I actually know ask randomly without needing anything. 🙃

Why would you communicate concisely,
when you can
send
as many messages
as possible
as you gather your thoughts
so others have to hear that ping
from Slack
or teams
or gchat
over and over again.

The End.

How do you keep politics/current events out of your teams and organizations/culture during these hyper tribal and partisan times? Of course I’ve said the standard “no discussion of religion/politics. no matter what your stance/viewpoint is.” That doesn’t seem to work though.
People still post memes in Slack. People still make underhanded political comments in meetings. Etc etc. I rolled a manager off of the project in a very public way as an example, but that only temporarily improved behavior.

Microsoft why are you damn obsessed with making so much of your software “start on startup” by default?

It’s so annoying and Microsoft teams is the LeAST efficient chatting app out there so it’s awful on resources. Slack is SO much faster and doesn’t start on startup (I don’t think ?)…

you’re really quite something to blatantly copy the competition, make your product more sluggish, and then add in your nasty ass dark patterns. Microsoft teams = bloatware 90% of the time. Stop prioritizing it
