DB ECM - does anyone have a view?
I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but thereโs not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that Iโm going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?

OP, no offense but this made me laugh so hard ๐๐
I fiddle with wood to keep my hands busy and i was rubbing sandpaper against a small wooden figurine I carved during a meeting under the desk and my boss saw my arm bouncing up and down and thought I was wanking

Did you tell him you were just keeping your hands busy by fiddling with your wood? That should clear it right up ๐
What did they think you were doing during a zoom call ๐๐๐
Hahahaha someone stopped mid sentence during a meeting to ask if I was sitting on a medicine ball because I kept bouncing without realizing it . I think we al do it. Also do you find it actually helps? I didnโt notice a difference

Power move.
I just swapped my chair for an exercise ball and now my biggest fear is this happening
D1, ohh, I see now ๐๐๐ nah itโs a good joke, I just am apparently not paying enough attention

LPT: wear a jangly bracelet near your elbow so it starts to make noise if you are moving a lot. Or hang it out of your pants/bottoms
I also put a bell on my cat so she doesnโt bring dead birds home
Iโve been sitting on a ball since wfh started. People now just accept Iโm constantly moving/bouncing. Donโt be ashamed!

Which one did you get? Drop da link
Does it actually help with your core? I've never heard of this but might make the switch if that's true.

Did you also make any funny sounds to go with your bouncing??

With your friends or not on a VC, fine. Otherwise it's not appropriate. I don't take my VC in the bathroom when I'm on the toilet.
And yes I'm tons of fun. Just not on team calls.
Id be jealous not judgemental.

But your abs look great.
Any recs for a good exercise ball to replace a chair? Looking for one and a little overwhelmed by the options!
