What's your position on each?

You know you can set up a static conference number and pin and use it like Verizon conferencing, right?

I'm going to reply at the end of the workday. Super busy Monday morning.

Oh look at me. I'm busy. 🙄

1. Have you guys ever used Skype for Business to connect with a non-Deloitte employee in another country? 2. Have you ever sent an invite with Skype for Business info in it and been able to set someone else as the host to open the line?

D2- yep, eye roll. Admittedly obnoxious, but first day back after a long trip and I awoke to having to annoying troubleshoot this Skype bs for a very important call.

Hi Fishes,

I got offer Letter from infosys 2.5 months back, now when I am trying to decline the offer by sending a mail to HR, it was not getting delivered as HR left the organisation 1 month back, I forwarded mail to feedback team of infosys but still got the mail from onboarding team with joining details and WebEx link, kindly suggest how to proceed in this case.

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?

I love teaching art but am having to teach remotely to 1150 kids, k - 5. Have about 54 amazing elementary art teachers in my district that share SO much!
