Please people please. Do not ping with just a greeting and wait till the other person responds. PUT YOUR GREETING AND ASK IN THE SAME SINGLE PING.

Chill. Some people do it as a courtesy in case you’re screen sharing

Or you say “question for you when you have a moment.” Don’t just say “hi” like a psychopath, especially if you’re pinging someone junior to you.

If you send me a ping without asking if I’m available to shift my attention to you and proceed with a message that requires any kind of thought, expect your message to be ignored for as long as possible.

I get it. You want to be revered like a nuclear submarine captain in the Red Army. #onepingonly

If I get a random “hi” ping from someone I don’t know I just ignore them. Usually they’ll either follow up with what they wanted or email me.

I see the “I’m being respectful in case you’re sharing your screen” reason as weak too. Folks need to learn to either turn on do not disturb on their IMs, quit the IM app, or better yet only share a window. I’m far more worried about one of my teammates on the meeting with me pinging me something inappropriate about the call than I am someone asking me for a document.

I work in a state where abortion was previously banned and is now still pretty heavily restricted.

I had cleared all the rounds in S&P and had salary discussion 1.5 month back. The HR is always saying the management is on leave and will soon get the approval and release offer. Today she shas asked for one more week to release the offer. Should I wait for it or move on. Are they waiting for some other candidate to join before rejecting me at last moment. Only 10 days of my LWD are left.

I just received an offer to lateral into banking. How does independence affect the stocks I currently own? If I join and my stocks are on a restricted list will I have to sell them? Or will I be limited to being unable to buy more/sell any during the course of my employment.
