What’s a less annoying way to say things like “new normal,” “unprecedented times,” “new ways of working,” etc.? Writing a mass email on virtual tools and would like for folks to not roll their eyes at it lol

Ah I would but the partner wants me to write a “relatable” opening

Maybe just avoid it, it’s been said over and over. Start by introducing yourself, the tool and its value.

Don’t overthink it. Just put something generic ... “As we adjust our working style, we need to consider blah blah blah”. Or if that doesn’t work just use new normal, no one is going to read into it or care really.

I hate “unprecedented times” so please save us all from hearing that again. Such a triggering phrase for my anxiety, too. I definitely don’t need work to remind me that as humans we have little control and we don’t really have a an understanding of this world.

I do find it odd that as consultants we think we have the answers to the challenges no one in their right mind ever thought about. But hey, we held a few Skype meetings and wrote a two page white paper, so you might as well hire us to keep your company afloat.

... And pay us a Million $ pls.

Hello guys! I work as a Campus Tech, I deal with 1200 kids for a Charter K-8th grade and 100 staff. I love working with a school district due to the amount of time we have off during school and summer off. But I’m debating on the pay I feel as I’m under pay for the amount of work that I do, troubleshooting Chromebook’s, laptops, printers, & projects…anything that plugs into the wall I cover. Does anyone else work with school district doing IT work for. My end goal is getting to an ISD school

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.
