Virtual Meetings Discussions

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.

Microsoft Teams - love it or hate it?

Hi maybe someone can give me some insight. I would really appreciate some feedback. So about a month ago I received an email from a manager telling me that my resume was forwarded to her and she would’ve loved to set up an interview. The interview was done via zoom I thought it went well . I was then scheduled for 2nd interview that went well also . A week after the second interview I sent her an email for a follow up she responded and said that they were gonna make a decision that Friday.

Bad move to take recruiter zoom call on company laptop?

People replying with a 'k' on Skype / Teams need to understand that it isn't their Insta DMs.
Feels rude and unprofessional!
Just put an 'o' before and we're good.
How lazy can one be

What are the best WFH laptops, or laptops you hate and would avoid at all costs?
Contract company has me on a loaner Lenovo think pad that doesn’t work well. The performance suffers when im both on virtual desktop and zoom, so I have to use an iPad to zoom otherwise my audio cracks out. I’ll be buying a new laptop soon and need ideas. Ideally around or under $1,500 - I do get some reimbursement so money isn’t a deciding factor.

I have a Skype meeting with a recruiter regarding a SOC Analyst 1 (WAF) role. I know they’ll ask me about compensation. I’m not sure what the going salary is or how to go about answering the question without scaring them away. — I’m currently a DoD IT Specialist and this would be my first role in cyber. I meet the requirements for qualifications - about 50-60%. I have a Bachelors in Business and Masters in Cybersecurity with a focus on Threat Detection as well as come entry level certs.

Hi Fishesh,
Its very unfortunate that I have to post it here like this, never thought I will be in this situation ever. So today, My current comp has laid me off on a zoom call along with other employees and that too with just 1 months salary.

I am management graduate having overall 7 years of technology consulting, SAP implementation, program management and strategy consulting experience.

Any leads/referrals will be much appreciated. Please do like/comment to maximise the reach.

Is the Zoom subscription even worth it?

Is anyone available today at 11 am EST to get on a zoom meeting with me? I want to get your critique on my business case presentation. If so please DM me for the zoom link. Any level of HR is welcomed.

US based. Thinking of working from abroad for a few weeks. My current client uses WebEx for meetings. Has anyone based in US experienced any issues accessing WebEx from an international location? I can switch on roaming on my phone if needed but will I run into issues connecting to WebEx for example in Canada or in Mexico? TIA

I’m expanding my business and I need help. I’m looking to work with 3-5 qualified people to help families increase their financial literacy and elevate them to a better financial situation. Full time and part time positions available. Must pass a background check. Paid 2 times per week. Qualifications: 28-45 in age, People skills, Moral and Ethical Principles, Competitive, Drive, Desire and Ambition. Hiring interviews will be conducted over zoom.

I didn’t get paid today. If payday (the 15th) is Monday, I get paid Saturday. Plus, my bank has been paying me 1 day early for months. My friend at another company (same bank), got paid yesterday. Slack’d my manager, they didn’t get paid either. Coworker, same company, on a different team got paid.

I emailed payroll although it’s Saturday. I work for a 2k person tech comp. Called my bank & no check has been sent. Thoughts? I have money in savings but how can I NOT go tf off about this?

I might need to term an employee for performance (located in CA). The term meeting will be conducted remotely via Zoom with her manager as well so he can go over the term reasons and I will be covering HR stuff (term paperwork, benefits, paycheck, COBRA, etc). It will be my first time terminating someone, let alone doing this virtually. Any advice?

I told my boss I found his “Thanks.” on Slack aggressive and he now uses exclamation points to make me happy 😂 awww but I actually appreciate it lol. I know this sounds ridiculous which is why it’s a confession.

I want to crawl into a hole and hide after every meeting.

After I leave Zoom, I'm left alone with my thoughts and all I can do lament about how I talked too much, too little, said the wrong thing, laughed inappropriately, and how everyone probably hates me because of The Way I Am and I'm on the verge of getting fired.

I have an supportive team and boss but I can't help thinking everyone is silently judging me and talking about how awful I am behind my back.

Is the hiring process for an Advertising Agency different from other companies?

I interviewed for one today and by the end of the zoom interview she already asked me to send 3 references. She told me she would like me to meet the team by the end of month. I’m asking because I’ve been interviewing for different companies and their process seems to involve a few interviews rounds before asking for references. I’m not from the US so this is new for me.

My therapist literally had me remove my Zoom background in the beginning of our session because the shadow movement it was creating really bothered him. I never had anyone ask me to change my zoom view/background settings before

Is there a world or any real possibility of landing a job as an attorney who doesn’t have a crazy stressful caseload and can just draft up and do transactional work from home and Zoom meet with clients or court and not have to be constantly stressed all the time? Is that a fantasy? I’m currently in ID and I know now that litigation is not for me. Looking for a less stressful way to practice while still making enough to support my family and pay off student loans. It’s taking its toll on me.

Is it normal to slack off on the job if you’re leaving the firm in a few days?

Skype was better than Teams

Is it okay to include a 30 min. lunch break in the time billed for a deposition on zoom? It was suggested by another counsel and I didn’t work on other matters during the break. Just grabbed a quick snack and looked over my outline.

I make faces at my self on Zoom calls if I’m the first person to join. Currently doing this while waiting for my interviewer to join.

I delete slack from my phone while I’m PMSing or I’ll start fights and share my grievances while watching tv.

Anybody ever use the Microsoft modern headset? I pretty much exclusively use teams (and zoom), and my airpod pros have been awful for switching between devices.

I cleared the Interview for SDET in Oracle today in the Manager discussion, He asked about the Expectations and I told 25 lpa, He said we cant pay that much as Your current is 14.7.
I said I can be flexible and minimum i can go for is 22 Lpa as i have another offer of 25 but considering oracle brand value i am ready to go settle but he said I can't offer you this much and left the zoom call. So How much oracle is offering for SDET of 8 Years of Experience?

Is anyone here from Zoom or Meta willing to give me a referral for a senior counsel position?

I have a file that I exported from Microsoft Teams that contains a task tracker and several columns of dates. However, I believe these dates must be formatted as text because when I create a pivot table it will not group them by month. I have tried to change the format of the cells to a date with no luck. I have also tried to use ‘text to columns’ to convert them, which causes Excel to crash. This is a small data set, less than 100 lines. Any suggestions? Can share the file if needed.
