Sometimes I get on a conference call with myself so that Skype says "in a conference call" and I can get stuff done but stay online

Think changing that status gives you 'busy.' The conf call says 'In a conf call.' Clearly superior

Aie Caramba! If such monitoring and evasive maneuvers exist as reported here, consulting has been reduced to just another miserable job.

But if you're inactive it'll reflect that. Being on. Call does not show inactivity

Or just open a YouTube playlist on repeat and it'll stay green. 👹

Forgive the ignorance. But is someone checking to see what % of the time you're active on your computer? What about thinking / reading / whiteboarding / brainstorming time?

D1 unfortunately there r some managers/SM who do. Have to cover our bases in that case.

Seems very odd. If consultants are producing great work and performing well tracking laptop activity seems bizarre.

I cleared the Interview for SDET in Oracle today in the Manager discussion, He asked about the Expectations and I told 25 lpa, He said we cant pay that much as Your current is 14.7.
I said I can be flexible and minimum i can go for is 22 Lpa as i have another offer of 25 but considering oracle brand value i am ready to go settle but he said I can't offer you this much and left the zoom call. So How much oracle is offering for SDET of 8 Years of Experience?

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?

1. I’m a pandemic hire at this new agency and I like it enough, but I feel SO detached from all these humans I’ve never interacted with IRL… like, I just don’t give a flying fuck about these team-building zoom calls. :(
