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.

Almost done with second weeks in industry. I absolutely LOVE IT! Ive been making a point to reach out to people from different teams via Slack and arrange a quick meet and greet zoom call. Been introducing myself mostly to the heads of each department, head of marketing, head of sales, head of product development. to get a better idea of what everyone does, and asked sales/product for walkthroughs of the products so that I know exactly what we offer as a company

How are you teaching middle or high school chorus in the fully virtual realm? I’m looking for new ideas and techniques. I hate that my choirs can only sing on Zoom with everyone muted...that’s the opposite of choral singing :-(

Why doesn’t Visa use collaborative tools like Slack and Google Workspace? I’m guessing it’s not a budget issue.

Hey all, curious to know how you like the bowl. Anything you want to see more of? Anything you want to see that we don’t currently do (e.g. Zoom happy hours, live chats, etc)? Let me know!

Has anyone had a client request zoom and virtual house showings?

Hi Dance Teachers! What have been your favorite “get to know you activities” over zoom on the first few days of school?

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’ve worked at places that all have different holiday policies. EA has at minimum a nice 10 day shutdown from Christmas Eve through New Years. It’s great to know that there will be no slack messages or an exploded inbox to come back to while away. I’ve been at other studios that only give you Christmas Eve & Day and New Years Eve & Day and then the rest is up to you to request for PTO and this is obviously the suck.

Wonder what it’s like for you?

Happy Wednesday! I am trying to plan with our AP and climate lead on what we can do in distance learning as a school wide event. I suggested we still host our multicultural club assemblies on zoom for the school. Anyone have experience with zoom assemblies to promote a positive climate in DL? Thanks!

Does anyone have Skype for Business installed on their personal device to receive notifications?

I am the partner leading our local office lgbt group. What should I be doing to engage more with our people during this time? Zoom once a month only goes so far I think but I have run out of other ideas.

Are forums dying out? Are they still worth developing for a new community, or would you go straight to Discord/Slack?

I am curious how other inclusion teachers are being utilized when the school is doing remote learning. I find that I am sitting in the zoom class and have very little opportunity to contribute. I am having discussions with my teachers on ways that I can better support them and the students when remote.

What technical skill sets should I learn to go OE at over $100k for each? Follow up: how do I learn it and how long will it take?

Has anyone ever messed up at a company party because of alcohol?

Volkswagen - 20 LPA CTC
Bosch - 20 LPA CTC

YOE - 5
Tech - SAP ABAP

Volkswagen has S4HANA project and Bosch has ECC project. I am thinking of Volkswagen.

Need your suggestions.

Do AA 500 mile upgrade awards expire? I have used a decent amount of upgrades, but I still have 14 that I have been sitting for a about maybe 6-7 months. I do not see anything about them expiring, but I would not be surprised if they do.

I am hoping someone can provide some insight so I don’t have to contact AA customer service :)

Taxpayers are abused the most in this country across the globe. It’s frustrating to see that only 1.5% of Indian population pay direct income tax, still govt. is milking them like anything and unable to do anything for these taxpayers. I’m paying 1 lakh tax every month, and what’s my return, 🔔🔔🔔,

Sacramento Big 4 folks: What is your office culture like? Which is the best Big 4 in town in terms of market power?

I’ve been seeing all of the Instagram and Linked In posts from agencies in town showing their “commitment to transparency in hiring” and to hire more minorities in light of the BLM movement. I knew the numbers were bad, but holy shit, not THAT bad.
It’s infuriating to me, as a POC how many fucking times I applied, emailed and reached out to so many of these agencies without getting even the time of day.
I’ll believe their supposed commitments, when I actually see the results.

I have an informational interview with a Managing Director on Friday about a manager role. I currently serve in a client services role and do not have traditional consulting experience (billable hours, etc.). Additionally, while I’ve worked with McKinsey, Accenture, McKesson, and other teams on major projects, I don’t have experience putting together the strategy, more of a support function. Feeling a tad intimidated! Any tips would be so very appreciated!

Are there any good movies or novels that show skill development - like follow through? Self-management? Money management? I read a lot of self help books so I know a lot of the theory, and books peppered with examples help, but I feel like most 1 paragraph examples don’t five justice to how hard it may be to change a behavior.
