When someone pings you on teams or Skype - do you respond immediately or when you have time?

I have one colleague that expects a response immediately. Or if I ping them and they are busy, they get upset. They respond with “hold on” or “can’t right now”. When my message clearly says respond when you get a chance.

Do you feel that after COVID the deadlines and pression is bigger than ever?

Jesus, just chill!!!

Am I missing any synonyms? 😅

What is the best way to continue to IM/Skype old coworkers once you leave a firm? I tried Skype and teams but seems the personal accounts don’t hook into business so they don’t get my messages. I realize we could text on phone but since we are computers all day, it’s nice to just IM as we did before. Any thoughts?

People who still ping you on Skype instead of Teams represent everything that’s wrong with society 😂 get with the times!

Any suggestions on wireless headphones, preferably with a mute button to take Skype/teams/Zoom calls .

Which is the best wireless headphone for taking skype/teams/zoom calls from Laptop?

Team,

What's your work from home setup for conference calls?

1. I have a Plantronics earpiece but both my clients and team have intermittently complained that I sound too far away. Not every call, but every 5th call. I suspect it might be due to my HP Elitebook. Any alternate setup without routing through my laptop directly?

2. I use Teams for almost all calls. For external calls, I switch to Skype. How do you all do it?

Holy Jesus is Teams barely functional for anyone else too? Is it just north America? God help us all if we have to use Skype again

Do you call people via Skype/Teams as you would on your phone (no warning) or do you ping/chat first to ask if they are available to call?
