When does Teams stop being a productivity tool? I regulatory see a permanent 9+ notifications when certain team members screenshare, it seems like a permanent backlog.

That would make me twitchy. I can't stand leaving notifications unchecked. But hey - whatever works for them.

Problem is, I don't think it's working for them. They are perpetually behind.

Hahah - for me, I am sometimes stacked 8am - 8pm with meetings. I have some people on priority and everything else goes into a queue for me to review and reply to from the bottom up. Every 30m meeting block brings 5-10 more messages. The amount of in queue messages and comments would never be able to be addressed within an in person office back in the day. The productivity is there. I try to make sure I don’t let people languish for longer than an hour.

Is MBB and management consulting losing its value among young people as employer? Since i noticed majority of young people currently want to work for FAANG, startups, crypto, Unicorns, want to open their own things, etc. I guess in 2000s and 2010s consulting was a top choice for graduates. But what about now? Would love to listen to your thoughts and observations on that one

Hello, I am going crazy. I am supposed to close on a house on Tuesday. The buyer did not perform an inspection and the lender did not order an appraisal. The lawyer says that everything is good on her hand but I am not sure if she is the deciding factor here. Can a home close without a physical appraisal ? I don’t have a closing time yet, just the date. My realtor reached to the lender and have no heard back.
