Why are senior leaders so proud to not be able to use Zoom? That’s such a weird flex. I certainly hope it’s just a self deprecating joke that they all make, and that in truth they are able to use the basic functions after almost 3 years of remote /hybrid, but it’s not funny.

It's a self deprecating joke. Or occasionally it's tough when the tool bar gets hidden among the windows. If you want people to be tolerant of your mistakes and shortcomings, be tolerant of others'.

I am a millennial. Shocking I know 😂

Just landed a full time gig, looking to get some furniture so I’m not working on my parents’ kitchen table during this remote period. Any recommendations for desks and chairs? I’m hoping to find something that’s easy to assemble and break down for when I need to move, and something that won’t cost an arm and a leg.

I know everyone has a different kind of setup that works for them. I currently have a laptop, drawing pad, second monitor, and a desk riser.

Who’s working away from home remotely? What’s your setup?

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
