🎃 What remote teambuilding/social committee events has your office done since COVID?

Looking for ideas to replace the drinks or office goodies we normally give out (Halloween, Christmas, July 4, Valentines etc., plus random “fun stuff”) – we’ve done a few virtual happy hours but obviously everyone has had more than enough of Zoom at this stage! We’re all sticking within our immediate teams for informal catch ups - any ideas that involve the whole agency?

Deliver a pizza to every employee and have a an agency only pizza social feed so people can post if they want to. Gives people time woth their families and/or people can post pictures or funny things if they want.
Best thing, in my mind, is to not force people to spend more time with work people.

It’s so nice that every agency laying off people, have those left standing (and other agencies) trying to hustle jobs for their unemployed friends, but there are also a ton of people who were unemployed prior to Covid...so no severance, job hunting lot longer, and not earning income for longer time...hurting even MORE due to quarantine.

Hi,
I have 3+ years of experience in c++ developer . Please let me know if there are openings available, looking for Pune location and remote.

⚠️Toxicity Alert ⚠️

My previous manager would track us by hours daily, made a fuss everytime anything stretched and guilt us for that and the unplanned leave too unless it was COVID. Hinted him a lot of time, this is problematic but apparently he considered it "standard practice for agile".

Now 8/10 teammates have switched within < 1 year of project start (6-7 months with him) which tbh had good work in our opinion and even team was fun to work with even though none of us ever met in person.

Manager said overtime was mandatory for COVID and I'd lose my job if I didn't do it. Was this a universal policy or should I look for a new job?

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors.

Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕

Hi friends of fishbowl! A year ago I told myself no more agencies. Then I got a job at another agency and I’m basically hating my life more than ever right now. This place is not good for me mentally and I’ve only been here for 90 days. I should’ve listened to my gut but here we are. So my question is what job titles should I be targeting as a senior project manager if I want to go to to client side?

I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
