Just started a new gig this week and the workload is slow, so I figure we should make the most of this downtime. My teammate and I haven’t worked together on anything yet. We’ve talked on zoom before and have texted and called occasionally. I’m hoping we can become familiar with each other and get that creative back and forth going. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions for activities or creative exercises?

Anybody watching the playoffs? Can’t say I’ve seen an ad as awful as the Rogers/Microsoft Teams one in a while.

Any Slack channel recommendations for Operations, leadership, project/program/product management? If so please share the link!

Do any agencies use Slack? I feel like most agencies use Microsoft Teams.

My work partner has a toddler and frequently misses meetings or goes on mute due to kid-related things. They also have to disappear around 6pm for a few hours bc of kid. Even if/when they can chat later in the evening, they’re usually pretty checked out or I just don’t feel like brainstorming at 10pm. Long story short, I feel like I’m picking up a lot of the slack due to their inability to be around, but I also feel bad because obviously parenting is hard. Can anyone relate?

If I get one more Zoom message that says "I'm trying to Teams you" I swear to all that is holy I will set fire to my laptop and yeet this brick to Bosnia. That's like FaceTiming me and asking me to log into skype. Should I be on the lookout for an email that your carrier pigeon is on its way with an urgent message?

How are parents keeping 5-6 yr old kids entertained. My kid is watching tv for 2-3 hrs each day and not at all participating in study. Kiddo is bored talking with classmates and friends, building legos and toys. Even school opens i doubt this age group really have patience to be on zoom calls. Looking for ways to keep kid busy other than digital media.

My firm (over 1,000 lawyers) just put a firm-wide “we need to talk” zoom call on all associates’ calendars for later today. No one knows what it’s about or will give any info. Not going to be a productive day.

When you try to cite a tax reg in Skype for Business and send a kissy face and a flower instead...fml.

Most embarrassing zoom call you’ve had or witnessed while WFH?

Today I faked a firearm going off in the middle of a zoom meeting so I could buy more time of finishing a deck

Has anyone seen any good examples of brands (or TV or news shows) doing Zoom/Skype interviews well, with decent production value? Thanks in advance.

I am totally exploiting the “threat” of COVID to avoid going to a monthly CLE that I am supposed to be attending in person. The meeting is going on, live, in person, no masks, etc. But they still offer a zoom link. So, I’m streaming it at home (mic and camera off) while I clean the kitchen, make food, eat, and post this confession. Totally used it as an excuse to come home early and not have to go way across town in traffic.

What’s the polite amount of time to wait to leave a zoom/FaceTime call if the other 🐠 is not physically attractive?

Once in a while someone attractive pops up on Zoom in our all-hands calls and I immediately become focused again 😅

Where are u all downloading your zoom backgrounds from?

Partners, what would make you skip the Q&A portion at the end of an interview? I just had a final round interview with a partner and even though we had about 3 minutes left after the case, he essentially showed me out of the Zoom room without inviting any questions (I actually prepared a couple beforehand). Should I take this as a rejection or could there be other reasons?

Thoughts slack stock?

Are there any actually useful Slack channels or similar groups for strategists? I’m not enjoying Ladies Who Strategize.

My company is now displaying!

I’m known as THE Excel model guy around my team, but I think I’m missing the conversational skills other consultants have. How many here have worked on their interpersonal skills? What did you do?

Setting up a meeting to convince my clients they /don't/ need us. The tables have turned, my friend. Wish me luck.

There are three aspects of project satisfaction: 1. The work you do. 2. The people you work with. 3. The location Pick two.

My wife doesn't work, been out of work for 6 months (this is job 5 in 4 years), and I feel incredibly overwhelmed being a sole income household and trying to move to CA and buy a house. I've asked her to get a job so many times, expressed my needs, had heart to hearts without any change. She says she can't because she is too stressed out to work. I don't know what to do.

found a $200 better hotel deal on SPGs app than through deloitte travel -- any chance there's a way to book through the app and expense it rather than book through deloitte travel?

Thoughts on moving from big 4 to small firm (200 people total) early in your career? (2 years out of school)
