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.

Huh? Does anyone actually use Slack for virtual meetings? Because when people say they use Teams… that’s what they’re using it for. Works pretty damn well every time.

Funny, and I hate Teams as well, but, just know that rules out I think all the holding company agencies. Omnicom for sure has an enterprise wide deal, IPG more or less does as well.

For us olds, we remember the saying “no one gets fired for hiring Microsoft” and it’s still true today.

Most of IPG uses Teams. It’s not that bad once you figure it out actually.

It’s not really about figuring out the technology, I can tell a lot about what the vibe is like at an agency just by how organised they are and what tools they adopt etc.

That’s the most junior copywriter thing I read all week.

Also I am being very hyperbolic here. I haven’t had to interview very recently. But I do think Microsoft Teams is the user interface equivalent of a calculator from 1999. I’m glad I made some of you laugh.

I’ve only ever used teams, what does slacks have that teams doesn’t?

And doesn’t have that Microsoft bloat.

I work at an ipg agency use slack for instant messaging and teams for meetings

I just started looking for a job and made some profiles on various job boards. I'm getting a lot of emails from recruiters that look like this. Whenever I talk to them on the phone it's very hard to hear them and the whole thing just seems a bit fishy. They ask for my DOB, and one asked if I would sign something so they could market my profile. Is this a scam?
I've censored names, addresses, and phone numbers.
