By all means, please feel free to send me as many Teams or Slack messages as possible while I’m trying to present or actively listen to someone’s feedback. It’s not distracting at all.

That deserves a special ticket to hell.

Especially if your notifications popup on your laptop and phone simultaneously. There should be a feature to disable all of them while presenting.

Pre-pandemic one specific account lead would do this all the time on client calls, but IRL. She would mute us and speak over the client as they were giving feedback. Like, what?! Why???

Yes please! And if I don’t accept your invite because I’m in another meeting, please call my cell repeatedly to see if I can join.

I like when I quit slack before the meeting so I don’t get bothered and then forget to open it back up again afterwards

Why is this an issue? In Teams it defaults you to DND if presenting. If you’re not screen sharing then manually set it. Same on Slack—it isn’t rocket science. Protect your time.

BTW Teams you can set an auto reply. Such as “Heads down on xyz deck. If urgent please text otherwise I’ll reply in X hours.”

VP1 you give me serious ‘sends messages to presenters’ vibez 💫

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?
