We broke out into teams and did some trivia contests. For instance we flashed stills from a movie and the first team to guess right got a point, and so on.

Another group had set up a simple form to make a game of match the pet to the owner. They revealed the answers live in a Teams channel. In terms of "mandatory fun" it was a good low effort activity.

I guess P1 probably is able to manage his/her time more efficiently. Im just not sure who the hell has time to do these ridiculous virtual team building activities, hit their insane summer charge goal due to COVID, participate in administrative initiatives, get their volunteer time in virtually, and hit their CPE goal.

We did a couple of fun activities lately over the virtual connects. For instance Zoomed In game (zoomed pictures of objects would be displayed and participants have to identify what it is) was one of it. To name a few more - we had Guess the Gibberish game and it was super fun. Also, identifying the silhouette, logos is a good game.. For cinephiles, there are many options of related games. Also, deciphering the words, phrases or proverbs by interpreting the image is an interesting game.

Hope this helps!

To name out a few with respect to the requirement in question, there are a few options. Like 2 truths and 1 lie. Statement to be shown and told if it's a lie or truth and the team members need to identify who it is related to..

Crowdpurr.com is a really good platform for virtual trivia. There’s a free version but we bought the $50/month subscription since we’re not spending money otherwise.
Skribbl.io is like virtual Pictionary and is really fun.
We also did “Guess who - baby edition” where everyone sent in a baby pic and I compiled it into a PP. We broke out into teams of 4-5 to guess.

How many emails and/or Slack messages do you receive and respond to on a typical day? My employer wants everything answered within 24 hours but in reality responses need to be made almost immediately. This makes getting back on task and being productive almost impossible when there are constant interruptions. Any advice on this or asking for accommodations? I think my best option is to change jobs.

Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

A female friend of mine recently received a settlement in a sexual harassment action against her employer during mediation. Upon receiving her (female) attorney’s final bill she was blown away to discover that her attorney charged her almost five times what the attorney estimated she would charge for the mediation. (The attorney was drinking alcohol during the Zoom mediation and settled for far less than she estimated she would get.) [continued below]

Hot take, for those who received a stimulus based on FY19 or FY18 returns why doesn’t the government make people pay it back in the FY20 return if they don’t qualify based on the actual tax year stimulus was for?
