Who here still has a phone on their desk? Feels kinda pointless given the fact that we have email, Skype, Slack, Gchat or actually walking over to the person.

I have something that has a cord and buttons with numbers. Flashes every once and awhile. Might be a phone?

Wait, you still have an assigned desk to put a phone on?

The best is when a managing partner calls said “desk phone” - which you never answer. And then calls you on your cell to let you know that they called you on your “desk phone.” #kthanksbye

I have a phone, my previous agency had a phone and we all use it fairly often. Is this not the case in other offices?

There is a phone somewhere in our office that occasionally goes off, nobody knows what or where it is, and it just goes unanswered. It is a baffling yet exemplary sign of the times.

Some UX Slack channels were doing well for a while but I definitely don’t see as much traction there. Meetups obviously came and went. Even the portfolio sites like Dribbble and Behance don’t seem that same.

Anyone with experience at Slack have opinions to share? Currently very interested in a specific role there, and would like to know more about what it's like to work there.

When is it either allowed or seen as OK to start using FTO? I recently started here and while I’m not looking to slack off and take time off, I just want to know how it works. (Plus, I don’t want to not use something that I can or should use.) Elementary stuff, I know. But I’ve freelanced my whole career until now. Thanks

Hello! Looking at an opportunity with established startup in UK that's just been acquired by a large co. I'm US based and my salary is around $250k (NYC) -I've been asked my expectation without the startup giving me a range to work from (though I've asked). I'm not sure how to reply to them because I have a feeling that my requirement may be out of their range and while I don't want to undercut my value, I also don't want to be cut out of the process because it's an interesting co. Any advice?
