My boss just told me he'll stop paying for our Notion subscription because he sees no use. This is a guy who still requests you install Skype and won't use Slack like the rest of the team. We have Jira but nobody uses it either.

It's like working for an IT company that stood still in the 90s and never moved forward, though they brag about being high tech.

I want to cry. I need a new job. I've almost 20 years of PM experience and I'm reduced to this. I'm crying already.

That’s true. At least they moved on from carrier pigeons as well. I’m about to recommend Carrier Pigeons to those who still use Skype. It’s getting silly now with Slack, Teams and other tools offering much better communication methods.

I am trying to write a stock letter to send to parents everyday that their child does not come to virtual learning sessions. I have been told by administration that even though I have spoken to parents and know why students are not coming to zoom classes, that we still need to contact them everytime they dont come. For some of my students this is everyday due to parent work schedules and disability issues.
Is anyone else having this trouble? What are you saying to parents to cover yourself?
