Apple employees: do you exclusively use the Apple suite of software for productivity? Eg iMessage, Numbers/Keynote/Pages, iCloud mail, FaceTime, etc.? Just curious if you’re using more standard tools (Slack/O365/Google Suite/etc.) in any capacity.

We have motion sensor lights in my office and the sensor is far from my desk. Consequently, if I'm on a long WebEx, the lights go out and it's embarrassing. The building won't change the sensor.

I’m in my 2nd month as an internal hire (formerly a Pricing Analyst). I did negotiate for a higher salary when I made the transition receiving nothing but the promise of a conversation to reevaluate in three months.

I’ve been able to hit the ground running, picking up the slack, and have delivered tickets as if I was already a Business Analyst.

IBM started to drop the mail for join Slack etc. and the mail for laptop request for new hire .

Anyone else planning to take at least a week off as soon as things get back to normal?

Just want to be clear. You don’t have to mention race to be racists.

If you were still in undergrad would you prefer 1. Go back to campus and have an in person/hybrid learning experience with restrictions on social life
2. Have your school go fully remote for the entire fall semester
3. Defer for a year and resume your education fall 2021 when things will hopefully be “normal”
I think I’d choose 3 but idk. Tough call, and I feel bad for current college students
