The greatest trick ever was the guy who convinced leadership that screen covers are necessary for privacy of information and not just so that I can slack off all day.

We have screens on our computers that make it very difficult for someone to see your screen if they're looking at it from a side angle, you basically can't tell what i'm doing unless you're directly behind me. Hence i can pull the old george costanza trick. Sit at my desk looking angry, pissed off, and extremely busy, when in reality i'm just contemplating whether to drive home early or drive across the country to start a new life outside of PA.

If you think screen covers protects you, you got another thing coming. They're probably recording all your keystrokes and monitoring all of your activity from within the machine.

The ones in leadership are using the privacy screens too. The policies as we know them today are in place to cater to those at the top

Hi! Can someone recommend a source for learning how do simple, fun music lessons on Zoom? I teach first grade and use music for my transitions. I would also like to play songs for them with my guitar, but am concerned it won’t sound good on zoom (the guitar, not my voice, which is bad, we established that long ago)

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.

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?

I am Product Owner, and have an opportunity to change my Title to "Product Manager". The actual work I'm doing will not change significantly, it's just a Title change, since I've been working less and less with the scrum teams and doing more product analysis over the last year. My main goal with this is to ensure this looks good on my CV. My thought is a Product Manager role seems more senior to a product owner. Any thoughts on this and any advice on how to approach this? I'm based in London.
