Skype? Wait who uses that still?

like

We have Teams but nobody really uses it for the IM, everyone uses Skype. I’d be all about getting rid of Skype altogether to force people to use Teams lol.

Lol I had this happen the moment I got on in the morning I got a ping from my manager saying “I need you to do this this and this” 🫠 it’s like he was just waiting to see my grey dot turn green

I’ve worked at places that all have different holiday policies. EA has at minimum a nice 10 day shutdown from Christmas Eve through New Years. It’s great to know that there will be no slack messages or an exploded inbox to come back to while away. I’ve been at other studios that only give you Christmas Eve & Day and New Years Eve & Day and then the rest is up to you to request for PTO and this is obviously the suck.

Wonder what it’s like for you?

Just realized I hadn’t had an in-person interview since 2019. I’ve done multiple zoom interviews and was onboarded remote in 2020. About to see a real person today! Wish me luck.
