So instead of requiring Zoom. (Re the joke thread)
I've imagined that if I *could* I'd sit on Discord all day with Open Mic, and ask my team top pop in to ask questions.

Would that be reasonable?

I mean this sincerely, how is this better or more convenient than them just pinging you with a question?

like

Because, sometimes there are dumb things that you say or do that you don't really want to ping. Especially since it's in writing and may look silly.
Or maybe a joke!
Or maybe it's just faster to talk
Or maybe you don't want it written down
Or the intonations / interpretation over voice communicates a different meaning

Sorry, I'm not tryna rant just thinking out loud

Ofc, I can't actually do this at my Firm since IT doesn't support Discord, but the idea of an open channel with voice is very effective. It's obv why Gamers use it. And not just while playing but just to chill.

It's a subtle difference, to have to Ask to Call and then Call people, vs always being on voice. But it's a big deal. You can always Mute if you're stepping away to watch TV or take care of kids or something idgaf.

Can we please stop - lest some genius things this is a good idea.

I'm floating the idea because I would implement this if my firm had the tech. I'd like to get some thoughts on what some downsides may be?


I'd make it completely optional, and I myself would sit in the room on open mic. Others need not join but would know I'm there if they ever want to "stop by my desk"

I'd hope that encourages them to, in the same way lots of others turn on their video hoping others do, but I wouldn't make it required.

Just do this with Microsoft Teams instead

like

I might try this! It's a big clunky cuz I have to use a room made by meeting invite, vs having a Channel that's just perpetual and I want to "logically" separate this from a meeting. But it might work anyway.

Ty.

Interesting. Never used discord, not a gamer, but I kinda like the idea

Fellow fishes, an observation. What explains the sudden rise in salaries in new hires.
In 2017/8, $/₹ was 65. Today it's at 80. That's a 20% depreciation over 2017/8 levels. Now, between then and now, salaries may have been corrected 50%. Factor in inflation, and you will see that the hike is just about 20% over a 4 time period. Doesn't seem like big number anymore.
