Hey guys! Anyone interested in joining a September virtual happy hour?

Thoughts on the potential Slack <> Salesforce acquisition? Worth buying more shares of Slack?

I met someone through a slack group on a job posting. We chatted, shared info and this person offered to be a referral on the posting on his team. I’ve gone through 4 loops of interviews with the team panel interview including this person. I felt each loop has gone great. It’s been over a week since my final interview an I haven’t gotten a response from the recruiter, who’s generally been pretty responsive. What are is everyone’s thought on reaching out to the job referrer for an update?

I gotta say, I'm really tired of getting prepped for my endless zoom meetings, staying on camera, and looking engaged while my clients look bored and text each other. It's just plain rude and I'm over it.

I’m sick of seeing people wearing grubby clothes on Zoom calls. We are officers of the law and need to present ourselves accordingly. I don’t care that I’m working from home and my dry cleaner is closed. I’m pressing my own suits and wearing dressing as if I have court each day (even with no Zoom calls). It’s called professionalism.

My kids are back in virtual school for the near future. I cannot do this. Any tips/tricks that worked last time? Our local Y had an “in person virtual” program last year, so I escaped most of this, but my daughter was quarantined a few weeks ago, kept coming into zoom calls (a la the BBC guy) not paying attention to class etc. she is 6. Im less worried about my 8 y/o.

Looking for on-the-go working and hence internet for 3 months- Colorado and Montana. As I will be at remote places with no guarantee of internet, any suggestions on reliable internet plans for video zoom calls?

Was on what I’ll call a “non-professional” Zoom. Someone came on swagged out in my company’s gear, logos clearly visible. Wasn’t on screen for long but thought it was a bold move.

CEO just announced through a message in our general Slack channel that someone was just laid off today because “his implication wasn’t sufficient and his results unsatisfactory.”

We’re a 30ish employees tech startup and this has never happened before, how would you feel reading this message out of the blue?

Does anybody else think that the Wharton Slack & Discord groups are kinda quiet/inactive compared to admit groups from other schools?

General question: is there any certain “rule of thumb” post that you sell to take profiles? I’ve seen some experts (“”) say to always collect at 20% and others say until you see a reason to sell. Asking as rearranged last week and luckily got into the airlines before they exploded and now I’m sitting about 50% up on delta. And after selling Zoom way to early (used to buy my delta), I’m not sure whether to take the cash or let it ride more. This fast a rally makes me think it will plummet soon

Anyone else’s AirPods crash their computers and zoom and audio when you use them

How are you teaching middle or high school chorus in the fully virtual realm? I’m looking for new ideas and techniques. I hate that my choirs can only sing on Zoom with everyone muted...that’s the opposite of choral singing :-(

Remind me what it’s like working for a firm where people know how to use technology? Nobody at my firm knows how to use zoom. They don’t know how to share a screen. So they use their phone camera and it’s lopsided and shaky.

Anyone have connections at Slack?

Why do people dislike being on camera for meetings? For me, video at least gets closer to in-person interaction (you get body language, facial expressions, etc), whereas all Slack and voice-only calls just exacerbate the interpersonal challenges of remote work.

Hey guys,

Thanks!

Help!! I have a student who puts absolutely everything in his mouth - crayons, markers, grass, mulch, paper towels, etc. How can I redirect him? He has a chewy but won’t use it. He’s 3.

At what point should I go to the doctor to see if I have fertility issues? I am 30 and my husband and I have been TTC for 6 months. I know it may not be long, but I would rather know sooner than later. Or, is it too soon and I should hold off?

I never had this many patients die. I think I need a mental break.

I got a bad review months ago after receiving a 4 rating but I constantly feel like all my coworkers and managers hate me. I’m normally very outgoing and peppy but really have constant job security anxiety and general anxiety about work. Any advice??

Thoughts on the Tank Must Solar beat, have the change to buy one but not sure if it’s worth it

Ladies, within your respective firms is there a specific industry practice or functional alignment that is known for treating consultants poorly, having poor retention, high levels of churn etc.? Wondering because I see this in my firm and not sure if this is normal across all firms.

Generally speaking, are there in-house positions that would specifically want policyholder-side insurance coverage litigation experience (biglaw pedigree if that matters)?

Is Robert Half a good place to work?

Salaam, In need of some help: I am hoping to take my parents on a trip to spend some quality time with them. It’ll likely be us three. They’re in their 60s and are religious. Does anyone have recommendation for where to go on an international trip from Atlanta? We’re thinking Mexico but parents aren’t beach-y people (due to the swimwear on most beaches). Any advice? Would like to keep cost managable. Jazakallah khair!

I was exited to join this group but last couple of posts about people trying to hook up other people ...come on! There are like 1000s of different dating apps including Muslim ones. Please don’t post about hook ups here!!!

Is there anyone here who moved to Deloitt from EY? I'd like to speak with them about the differences and about their experiences. I have been approached by Deloitt and have been having some conversations but nothing seems to be attractive in their initial offer.

Anyone in the DC area know if the Friday prayer in Rosslyn (at Arlington Temple) ever came back after the pandemic?

Assalamualaikum! I want to buy a house in US without interest. On researching I found a couple of companies which seem to just change the naming convention but aren’t really Islamic.
Am I searching for a needle in a haystack or there is no needle here?

Salaams all. Looking for perspectives on a mixed faith wedding that's coming up. Extended family member is marrying a non Muslim and my family is invited to the wedding. I'm kind of conservative and I'm thinking it's not really something I should be celebrating. I think my wife is likely to go with the kids since it's her cousin. Thoughts on whether I'm being too dramatic?

Salams, anyone here in Southern California and open to connecting over the phone / coffee?

Today I am celebrating being able to pray again 🥹

I was diagnosed with herniated discs a year ago, and was not able to sit or bend, I even had days that I wasn’t able to walk. Anything I would do was so painful, so my movement was only limited to standing and laying down. So I had to pray standing up without the movements!
4 weeks ago I had a surgery for my back, and today I was able to perform the prayer with all the movements 😊😊

I am so happy! AlhamduliAllah for everything good or bad!

Salam everyone, I'm doing a research paper on halal mortgage providers in the US and was curious what the overall experience was like for those that pursued this mortgage route? (Mainly Guidance Residential, UIF, Devon Bank, Lariba and Ijara CDC)

Areas I'm interested to get feedback on are listed in the comment section!
