Be the change.
Start with "are you going insane yet?"

Yeah, I never started that so I don’t have to stop

I want to remove unprecedented from the dictionary 😬

That would be unprecedented

I guess the challenge is that some people aren't doing that great. And to just be business as usual is the other side of the problem.

I try to connect with my team and clients at the beginning of a call. Longer than usual. And just talk before diving in. It's the typical How are you, but we actually go beyond Good, and you answers.

I don't think starting an email with hope everyone is well does much. No one is going to respond and be like, actually things aren't well.

Hi everyone🙂

This is my first time posting on this app. I see here working professionals from almost all the big companies, so I would be really grateful if someone could help in switching from my current company.
I joined SoftwareONE as a fresher and it has been 2.4 years working here. I would be suitable for profiles like procurement Specialist, vendor management, customer portfolio management, operations and end to end customer account management (i.e. from RFQs to invoicing)

Thank you
