Planning a work Happy Hour on zoom - anyone have any easy/free ideas to entertain a group of ~20?

I'm having difficulties connecting with my team over Zoom, and I'm feeling lonely. Anyone else?

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?

Zoom meetings have been fantastic. I can highly recommend my home group SOS. 7:30 daily. Great way to get grounded as you start your day.

Anyone looking to do a case prep this weekend via Skype / phone?

This Friday is the 1 Yr. Anniversary Party of AIR. All members are highly encouraged to attend Friday’s zoom call to celebrate, recount stories and play the Trivia Game for awesome prizes!!! Keep eyes peeled for your email invite and hope to see you then!

I am the partner leading our local office lgbt group. What should I be doing to engage more with our people during this time? Zoom once a month only goes so far I think but I have run out of other ideas.

Does anyone have Skype for Business installed on their personal device to receive notifications?

Is Integration Engineer position at Zoom worth joining coming from Software Engineer position?

So...
What to do? What to do?

Came back to school in August with a cruise ship still sitting on my stage. We walked away from Anything Goes the day after the sitzprobe because of the quarantine. Still taking the wind out of my sails.

We are here now, but not able to stage shows. Logic says, "Do a radio show!" Just not sure I want to subject the kids to the emptiness of that performance style given the Zoom life they've been living. The production of it could be fun though.

Thoughts?

Just realized I hadn’t had an in-person interview since 2019. I’ve done multiple zoom interviews and was onboarded remote in 2020. About to see a real person today! Wish me luck.

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.

Hi Dance Teachers! What have been your favorite “get to know you activities” over zoom on the first few days of school?

Has anyone gone through the Breeze Airways panel to interview? Can you give me some insight?

Hi everyone. I'm pretty early in my career (just over 1 YOE) & not really enjoying my current role as a Consultant/Developer because of the type of projects I get combined with some mobility issues. However, I'm really interested in technical program management or project management and I'm looking for any advice on how to get there bc I've been applying, but can't even seem to get a call back.

(Also would really appreciate some likes on this post to get my 11 likes out of the way 😀)
