I’m intrigued by the rapid increase of people using zoom/Skype video on their calls - it feels like a trend in last 3 months . What’s people’s thoughts on this. Do you love it or hate it?

For some reason everyone loves Zoom. I think it’s trash. Very hard to call into, compared to webex/Skype which will just call your phone. Also no beeps letting you know people are join/leaving or any notification of if people are on the call/how many. No idea why people love it so much, idk what it does better than Skype/webex

The instances of Webex and Skype I’ve used (clients) DON’T call your phone and the screenshare projections are tiny. Software also seems super dated compared to zoom’s interface

Zoom is superior

I personally don’t really like it - I like to multi-task...

Depends on the call, but if it’s a collaborative meeting then I like the video because it forces people to NOT multi-task

When is it either allowed or seen as OK to start using FTO? I recently started here and while I’m not looking to slack off and take time off, I just want to know how it works. (Plus, I don’t want to not use something that I can or should use.) Elementary stuff, I know. But I’ve freelanced my whole career until now. Thanks

I am curious how other inclusion teachers are being utilized when the school is doing remote learning. I find that I am sitting in the zoom class and have very little opportunity to contribute. I am having discussions with my teachers on ways that I can better support them and the students when remote.

Generally curious how many companies offer phone reimbursement? My last gig did not but the current one does. Legally it seems, all employers are required to do so if we use our phone in literally any capacity (video call, slack, teams, emails etc). How prevalent is the issue of not reimbursing phone dues?

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

Anyone figured out a good way to keep hearings public? I'm trying to figure out if I can get the courts to post zoom links for hearings somewhere.
