Don't understand stand why some people always put Away or Offline as their status on Teams/Skype. Any reasons why if you're also doing this?

Because people believe they have a right to your time during the day and reduce others productivity. I’m introverted and on a team full of extroverts, it’s one of the best ways to have someone consolidate their thoughts and send an email instead of chopping up my working time

I’ll do it outside of normal 8-5 business hours If I’m working before 8 or past 5 its either because 1) I have a scheduled meeting and that deserves my attention or 2) I’m heads down on a deliverable and don’t want to be bothered. During normal hours though I think it makes sense to have it on accurately

They don’t want to be bothered by coworkers. I think it’s an annoying practice that makes teammates inaccesible for quick questions (when done during work hours, totally fine to do it for off-work hours)

I tutor ESL after school and recently switched over to Zoom. Students are stating that they are unable to annotate. I’ve read that this is common for Chromebook users. Does anyone know of a way to bypass this and/or any video/picture tutorials? Otherwise, it looks like we’ll just have to add an additional open tab with a google share doc. Many thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.

Is it just me or have you also noticed that during the endless back to back zoom/teams meetings, people drift away and not take down action points?

Hi Team,

I have cleared all the interview rounds (WebEx & HR on call) for the position: VERIFIER, and also submitted documents (authentic as per my knowledge) for background verification on Aug. 25, 2022.

How much time usually ICICI bank takes to generate Offer Letter, after all the verification process??

So...
What to do? What to do?

Came back to school in August with a cruise ship still sitting on my stage. We walked away from Anything Goes the day after the sitzprobe because of the quarantine. Still taking the wind out of my sails.

We are here now, but not able to stage shows. Logic says, "Do a radio show!" Just not sure I want to subject the kids to the emptiness of that performance style given the Zoom life they've been living. The production of it could be fun though.

Thoughts?

Happy Wednesday! I am trying to plan with our AP and climate lead on what we can do in distance learning as a school wide event. I suggested we still host our multicultural club assemblies on zoom for the school. Anyone have experience with zoom assemblies to promote a positive climate in DL? Thanks!

I need advice about Zoom. Is it easier to have a zoom link with your personal Id or a simple generated one? I want to connect my Zoom link in my clever portal, but for some reason the generated one doesn’t work, but I’m afraid if I switch anything it will mess up the flow. Any experts do we have advice?
