Virtual Meetings Discussions

Interviewer asked in middle of the interview that Is your notice period negotiable.. In mid of the interview another manager joined over zoom and he was in hurry to join some meeting, asked 2-3 questions and then he left...in the end interviewer said that If he want to take another round with him else will go HR session ...is it a positive sign?

Ive hit a breaking point. Ive now been on multiple projects, back to back to back, where I’m being expected to pull 13 hour days to pick up the slack for others or meet some ridiculous unrealistic deadline. I want to push back, but with layoffs happening everywhere I’m kind of terrified. Any advice?

Does the Skype notification sound haunt anyone else’s dreams?

Anyone else have TMJ problems or solutions? Heavy Zoom/talking days totally drain me and can leave me in pain 😩

I’ve got $100 for anyone that’ll hop on a call / zoom for an hour to walk me through the process to list a product on Amazon. Can’t get past it.

My firm has a Zoom account. For whatever reason, the partner in charge of technology won’t let us use it, and forces us to use Microsoft teams instead. Every time I book something on Microsoft teams, I always have problems, especially when I’m working with other firms. I keep requesting the account log in, and all I get is “Teams works just fine, if it’s not, call IT (which is one guy who is unresponsive most of the time). What the actual fuck? If we have the resource, why can’t I use it?

Hello…looking for opinions on my situation. I applied for a senior sales position in a completely different industry (stretch target, but worth a try.) The job responsibilities are what I do today so I’m qualified on paper, but their industry experience is “preferred”. I’ve been invited to interview which is great but I’m going straight into a 4-person panel Zoom interview, which includes a couple of senior management people. No BS HR screening call. What’s are your thoughts on this?

I would just like to take a moment, in this season of gratitude, to appreciate zoom’s touch up video feature, and the amount of funds it has saved me on Botox and therapy

Anyone went through experienced hire interviews recently and won’t mind a lowdown, and any notes for prep? Scheduled for a audio, zoom call BCG US. Thanks much!

I just asked if the agency holiday zoom “party” is optional…my idea of fun is not to watch boxes on a screen. Please don’t make me join!

Looking to get sober again and only attended aa via zoom meetings.

Anyone want to share their personal experiences when comparing in-person vs virtual?

Does anybody else feel like Zoom is hurting them in job interviews? I personally am far more charismatic in person than I am hunched over talking to a webcam.

Anyone else feel like they have little control over their lives? I take my dog for a walk, get pings and e-mails, get texts and calls at night, can’t use the bathroom without random Zoom calls, having dreams about work now

Just wrapped up B1. Any test candidates want to set up a meeting on zoom and review and answer questions together?

Studying together and doing these end of the chapter reviews, can push us both !

Juniors who started during the pandemic and/or are currently remote. Do you feel like you’ve missed out on mentorship/hands on training by not starting out your career in person? Or do you feel like you’ve been able to get that over zoom?

any recommendations for good bars to go to and do some non-zoom work? i’m trying to branch out from my kitchen island and starbucks. (in old town fwiw)

Anyone have thoughts on a MDM on your personal phone? I want to be able to check my email/slack on my phone but I don’t want my company to also have all this access to my personal device. Can anyone give insight if I’m overthinking this or if it’s a definite “No”.

In 2019 I was working a dead-end job with no path forward.

I joined a 5AM motivational/accountability zoom call on a whim and it completely changed my life, socioeconomic status, relationship with my now wife, and career trajectory. I would love to pass on the lessons I learned. Young and old and all walks of life are welcome!

Would anybody be interested in joining me on a 5AM CTZ call M-F? Looking to start mid-December 2022

Is just sitting in home office and sometimes having client interactions via zoom really the future? Is this really desirable? Im totally missing the business/travel vibe, which my job once had. How are you all thinking about the changes since Covid?

I'm in canada. I currently work in as a senioir customer success and tech support and earn 70k/year.
I would like to move to another job that can pay higher. I don't mind staying in CS but do CS jobs really pay higher than this? Should I be looking for something else that can pay me 6 figures?

Should I start from scratch as a dev?

Hello fishes, can someone help me on this, How much zoom video is offering for 10yoe person,with 4 years of experience in AWS and Devops?

Do you slack off when you are on your notice period?

Hello Fishes,

I got an opportunity to join Microsoft, in "Microsoft Teams" product team. As we are seeing many layoffs across the industry, is it safe to join Microsoft Teams?

Hi Fishes,

I got an opportunity to join Microsoft in "Microsoft Teams" product team in Bangalore. Anyone can give me an idea about this team? As we are seeing many layoffs across the industry, can someone tell me how safe is to join "Microsoft Teams"?

People often tell me I need to speak up, and I just have a habit of speaking at the volume comfortable to me, but apparently that's too quiet for people.

I know the obvious answer is to talk louder, but it feels weird, unnatural, and performative to speak up. Not a confidence thing, I just tend to talk to people at volumes similar to siri, zoom calls, or thinking out loud, and that's too quiet for people in real life. Have any fellow quiet people overcome similar issues? What worked for you?

Has anyone moved their community from Slack to Discord or vice versa? What made you switch?

I'm on week 3 with a new manager. So far I've gathered she is a huge micromanager which is totally against our company culture in HR. She watches if people are online on slack and video chatted me yesterday THREE separate times to check in and complain that people weren't responding to her in a timely manner. She also told me that I'm going to take on tasks outside of my role Bc of my skillset. Would you ask for more $? Help!

Trying to plan a virtual happy hour/team bonding event. Anyone have suggestions for free activities/games?

No better feeling than seeing a bunch of Zoom meetings cancelled on a day you have several deadlines coming up

What do you think of a company where you’re about to have a second interview and they just no show for the Zoom meeting? This is after I met with the CCO and a Partner during the first meeting. Second meeting was supposed to be with Founder and President. But he no-showed. Getting very disorganized and unstructured vibes, but I need a job :/

My husband was told today (in slack so he has written proof) that his manager was told by the VP to intentionally lower performance reviews for each person on the team to entice the team to work harder. He does not work in HR. He works for a SAAS company and he’s not in sales. These performance reviews determine raises and promotional opportunities. Should my husband bring this up with HR? I told him he absolutely should since he has proof.

My company (with all good intensions) just posted all of the cities where the members of my team live (about 100 people) with their names. So for example John Smith, Georgia, Athens. No one was told in advance this would happen and it was posted on our all team slack channel. It made me really uncomfortable as I don’t want my entire pyramid to know where I live (our entire team is remote across the country). Am I wrong for going to leadership and asking for my info to be removed?
