My coworker who’s older like mid 50 something did a client presentation shirtless thinking his camera was off the entire time and no one told him anything until the end of the call.

Oh dear! A couple weeks ago I was helping my step dad at the doctor’s office translating all forms for him. I had to join an all staff meeting and thought it was cool, I can finish this while everyone gets started and all. Did you know that if you swipe right from safe drive mode your camera and mic automatically turns on?? I bet they saw my scalp as I was speaking in a foreign language. For the whole company! And it’s not like I quickly figured it out. Oh no. There was a lot of swiping back and forth trying to see where the fuck the mic and camera button were. Also I just started this job a few weeks ago so yeah, it was mortifying.

We had a client do that (though in a towel)

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 was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

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