What’s a pet peeve of yours that a coworker or client does? Mine is that my coworker says “ya know” after literally every sentence they say

No pet peeve in particular. I just hate people, generally speaking. 😀

A coworker does not pick up social cues or just wants to keep talking incessantly or their Teams is delayed? 🤷 There have been several times where someone wants to interject to ask a question about what they're saying or provide a comment and they just keep talking. During coworker's brief pauses, someone will repeat their original question that was overlooked and eventually give up/switch subjects after trying to bring it up 2-3x because coworker keeps going. This is not some big meeting though, very casual so maybe they're excited to pour out personal details.

Along those same lines starting off every sentence with “look” or “listen”

mine is my manager who follows up every thought he has with “right” 🙄

don’t know how you have the patience to put up with this daily but I feel you hahaha

My co- worker pronounces ‘similarly’ as ‘similar-LAIR-ly’ 😖

Ooooh CC1 don’t tell me you do this!!

Respond with "I know what you are saying. You don't have to keep asking me."

I received an offer from IBM Bangalore. However I saw openings at my preferred location Kochi only after the interviews. I called the HR after getting their point of contact mail and I asked if it's possible to switch. They said I'm already tagged to a project and that they'll check from their end if it can be done.

Anyone knows the chances of location being changed after receiving the offer and getting tagged to a project?

I have not yet accepted the offer.
