Got notifications about a generalized Microsoft 365 degradation that's ongoing. Apparently it's affecting different company's in varying degrees. How bad is it on your end?

It's blue screen day and people are not happy about it. I get anxious myself when I can't log in to something, I start to worry that all my work is just gone, gone, gone. So knowing it's happening across the world is something of a relief, as weird as that sounds.

You mean something different than the global outage that's affecting Microsoft systems everywhere? It's a whole global thing that has caused disruptions in banking, air travel, broadcasting, etc. My company just called it a day and sent everyone home rather than having us all sit around

My Starbucks pre-order option was affected 😂 but work-wise, the only way it messed with my job is that I had to reschedule my exec's meeting with Microsoft execs because they were dealing with that fire.

Our whole company went down nationwide. It was to the point where IT sent an email to us to not turn out computers on, which is kind of redundant since in order to see the email, we have to turn on the computer. Either way, it sorted itself out by the middle/end of the day.

Hey! I’m new here and would like some input. I’ve been working in a new position for almost 5 months. In that time I’ve witnessed some unethical and lots of unprofessional behavior. I’ve been yelled at and berated by my coworker 3 separate times because of minor errors. I’m ready to quit. There are so many major issues in this company that I don’t know if I want to subject my mental health to this degree of toxicity. I just don’t know how to move forward from here.

I am in the process of finding administrative assistant interns from our local universities. In an effort to make my job opportunity appealing, I am asking everyone in this bowl about an appropriate job title. Is "Administrative Assistant" outdated or unappealing? I certainly don't want to mislead anyone on the job responsibilities, but I do want to avoid any potential negative stereotypes attached to that job title. Are there alternative titles that you find more appropriate for 2022?
