What's wrong with jabber...

like

I hope not. I miss Lync as it is. Jabber is miserable but Skype is worse

like

I hated Skype when I went to industry. Messaging feature was awful and trying to do business meetings over it was miserable. Jabber sucks, but the webex feature works much better than Skypes meeting function in my opinion

It's amazing that a messaging app has so much downtime. I can't stand Skype, it's far worse in my experience.

I agree! I had it when I did a brief stint in industry and it was miserable more than I could have thought possible

Unlikely.

Well, it’s currently down which means I have no phone and no easy means of communication. And the cell phone service isn’t spectacular in our office so that’s not even an option

I also hate that there is no save chat feature. Lync made it so easy to save chats that had instructions or to dos in them. Jabber just ends of getting copy and pasted into a sticky note

Fair point. Doesn’t make it any less annoying. I have approximately 30 sticky notes open at all times

Slack forever.

Skype is decent for chat, but awful for screen sharing, especially with clients as lost have trouble connecting

Ha ha

Jabber sucks too and so does our magic jack phones

As things start to open up fully, some of my institutional clients are sending notices that we are expected to do X activity over zoom from here on out (things we used to do in person). Clearly it’s a cost cutting measure. Anyone else feel like filing for telephonic appearance so the insurance company can save a buck isn’t going to sit well with judges who prefer in person attendance? I hope they deny all of them so my billables don’t suffer. Less travel = more desk bs I have to do to hit quota
