Anyone else get annoyed by these two things:
At the conclusion of a town hall on Teams every idiot and their mother thanking the presenters in the meeting chat. Each of these people should be on a layoff short list for blowing up my notifications (yes I know I can mute the meeting).
After a meeting is running over the scheduled time people commenting in chat they have to leave for another meeting, just go no one cares.

Lmao I agree. The expectation to communicate everything all the time is driving me up the wall.

Everyone commenting "chill" probably has never worked somewhere that wasn't a culture fit

Well, I can't speak for your team, but my team definitely has that expectation and is always a point of feedback for me

Completely annoyed by those. I constantly have to mute these big meetings, and 100% spot on that the lowest performers always overly thank (suck up) to the speakers.

Why MD1?

The annoyance is WHY they are doing it. It is just a way to kiss up to the presenters or leadership. I see it all the time on internal groups calls I have (20-30 people). Then you go to another meeting and tons of thank yous pop up. I'm sure it annoys the presenters more than strokes their ego.

Agreed

Take a deep breath ! In ... Out.

OP, thanks for articulating it for all of us 🙌

Doest make sense for extremely large meetings, but it does avoid the asking someone who left a question, no answer, ask again, silence, where did so and so go, I see they’re not on the meeting anymore, maybe they had connection issue and will dial back in, oh maybe they left for the blah blah weekly call, thing.

Do you think all these violent and hate filled attacks are because people aren't getting the emotional/mental support they need, whether it's therapy at any age or help they needed but didn't get from a social worker as a child? My coworker is sure this is the case, but I honestly think there's actually something deeper wrong either with how these people are being raised as children, or how the warning signs these people give off are ignored or swept under the rug to save face.

Let’s talk about wrongful termination. The other day I was fired in the middle of the day without any warning. My colleagues called me because they were confused on why the Talent Manager dismissed me from the chat. I didn’t know what they were referring to. So I called my PM to ask what was happening, and she said that she just got off the phone with the TM and said they were terminating my contract on the spot due to me speaking up about micromanaging. No explanation just kicked out. Advice?

Stupid Question- We have been thinking for IVF and trying to understand with this process, is there any difference in the health and life of the child as compared to a child born without IVF.

This is not very old technology and not much studies as well.
