Skype issue: on home wifi (obviously), when I get on a Skype call my laptop drops internet access and it says ‘connected, no internet access.’ Anyone know how to deal with this? I’m losing my mind.

Same here. Not sure why..

Do you have VPN? Sometimes Skype doesn't work if my VPN is on.

Plug in your Ethernet cord for a quick fix

Re: ethernet cable, look at ethernet over powerline products. An example:

NETGEAR Powerline Adapter 2000 Mbps (2) Gigabit Ethernet Ports with Passthrough + Extra Outlet (PLP2000)

Mine was doing that yesterday - I realized I had a few too many devices connected to the WiFi... 😬... starting disconnecting those that didn’t need to be and it really helped.

I feel your pain... believe me... 😁

This generally means DNS issues. Go to cmd and type ipconfig /flushdns

If this doesn’t resolve it, visit the gateway address and check that you don’t have an authwall to get DNS resolution services from your gateway/router

All from top of mind - no worries. You should be able to google your way through the issues; roughly check your connection to router/internet by pinging each destination endlessly, and try running internet speed tests once you’re online to see if it’s a bandwidth issue.

This happens when I connect my VPN. Often I just need to connect the VPN, reconnect the internet WiFi (run the search for it) then sign into Skype after that.

So about quiet quitting, at another job I was in I felt I was getting more and more tacked onto my job and picking up the slack of everyone else. I told my boss that I was doing work that was in someone else’s job description and it would be nice if they could help me out by doing their job. He told me, “But you’re so much better at it.” Looking back, I think the whole team was quiet quitting and he was resting on me and so I real quit. What are ya’lls thoughts? Have you ever done it?

Hi Everyone! Between corona and snowstorms, “real life” is seeming as far off as anything else. Curious to hear what some people are doing to keep their employees engaged? Zoom happy hours are dead.. we did a few “virtual contests” (i.e., everyone submitted a pic of themselves dressed up for Halloween, allowing former years as entries, and made a slide show for voting the winner), but I’d like to go a little bigger. Suggestions??

Hey everyone,
I have a second round interview with a saas company selling education software. This interview will be a 30 minute zoom call with the VP of sales. I am someone from a non- traditional background with 2 years of sales-ish roles but no experience in tech sales and no straight forward sales job.
I did a tech sales bootcamp. Im just worried about what questions he will ask me? Im thinking more technical in terms of sales processes and even sales funnels? Any thoughts?
