When everyone is getting more than they’re full of Zoom meetings, what are some other ways to keep employees engaged, connected, and feeling like they’re part of something important?

How many active channels are on your slack? I have around 50 separated by internal topics, discussions of particular account or specific project. I just had a discussion with someone who thinks it's too much and needs to be optimized more. I kind of like that I have a separate channel for separate topic. What do you think?

I think I smile and nod too much. How do I stop? I don’t want to smile all the time but it’s like I’ve been conditioned over time. It honestly is draining. Especially on zoom I can see myself and in my head I’m like wow I am a wreck smiling and nodding vigorously at the most inane things.

Want to join a book club where we read classic books and discuss via zoom or chat. Didn’t get to put myself through college, so missed out on this sort of thing - but absolutely loved doing this in high school! I feel like it would be enjoyable to get through the hard reads together. Any leads?

When it's Friday and you fall asleep on the couch watching a WebEx. Not even sorry about it!

How do you cope with work in early pregnancy and exhaustion? I don’t have lots of common pregnancy symptoms except cramps and fatigue. The exhaustion is on high today!!! Yawning through my zoom meetings and it’s only 11am here on the west coast. I’m also a team lead so I need to be present on meetings. I don’t know how to cope lol. I slept a lot through the holidays but now I’m back at work. I even overslept for my 8am meeting today 😫😂.

None of my Zoom meetings have been hacked or compromised, do the hackers think im ugly ?

While we are in this WFH situation, I like to blast music all day to keep me energized and engaged (when l’m not on Zoom calls). What are y’all listening to? (Spotify user here 💁🏾‍♀️ and playlist suggestions are welcome)

Thoughts on VR headsets for zoom meetings? We could all be truly together virtually!! 🥰😍🥳

Zoom Tip: Give out your zoom code to students RIGHT BEFORE the class starts to avoid zoom bombers (when students give out the code to strangers). Also, make sure the default is set on the waiting room so you have to approve all participants. I learned the hard way.

I'm having difficulties connecting with my team over Zoom, and I'm feeling lonely. Anyone else?

Looking for someone to join a Zoom roundtable tomorrow at 2pm to discuss "How to Leverage AI to Drive Audience Acquisition & Engagement". The roundtable will address what’s needed to build an AI strategy—and how to do so in the most efficient, economical way—to drive unlimited audience acquisition and engagement. If you think you have what to o ffer be in touch.

How many calls have you had on Teams/Zoom/Skype/Webex etc? I'm wondering how many hours of my life were spent on "can everyone please go on mute" and "let's take it offline" 😬

Hi all. To give everyone an update on my best friend, who had recently become my girl friend, we broke up. We were in the middle of our daily Zoom session and midway through, I saw a half-naked man running across the background. I confronted her about it and she did indeed confirm my worst fear that she was cheating. I am sad now.

I (first year) need the crowds view: “Big deal” partner emails 2 partners (me cc’d) asking for a call. Having had trouble with the conference line, I send around a zoom link. The call starts, the 2 partners and I are on zoom. “big deal” partner calls me, yells that zoom link isn’t working, berates me, opens a conference line, tells me off in front of the other partners (I “wasted their time”). Is his behaviour warranted?

Do you always log on to Skype? I hardly ever do, only for calls. should I be logging in?

In a meeting I said, “creatives can be savages sometime.” because of their unruly behavior towards internal teams, pushing deadlines, or throwing tantrums. I was called out and chastised by a junior creative for using the word “savages” in an unacceptable manner because the word is slur to non-whites in a zoom meeting. I am a BIPOC creative. Am I the asshole?

Recently relocated to a new city (MCOL) from HCOL, got a big salary bump, was thinking about saving money and got a really cheap studio. But I hate the place so far for 1) I can hear noise for everything 2) The place is too small 3) emotional depressed for living in such a small place. Should I pay 1.5X rent to get out here and get a nice place?

Is going to a small firm actually worth it for WLB or is it just taking a pay cut to have substantially the same hours/stress levels? Considering a move to a smaller firm for mental health but not sure if it’ll end up being more of the same. Are there things to look for when looking into smaller firms?

Long run what pays more MBB or FAANG ?

How do consultants incorporate %’s into resume when you’ve worked on 6481538474 engagements? (All my current bullet points are generalized)

Anyone heard the latest on Celebrate ATL?

Why do non tech employers use every excuse to not get you in the h1b lottery and then every excuse to not file your green card? Is it really just so you have to work for them longer?

Is there any consulting companies in the US that sponsor new hires (for example data science consultants) for a H1 visa or GC?

Chances that flight leaving tomorrow morning from LGA will be cancelled?

Let me know if anyone wants referral in Accenture for salesforce.

Best examples of ramp back programs from parental leave? I get to choose my own adventure and am curious what’s worked well for others. Minimum hours required hasn’t been stipulated. Thanks!

Is anyone else struggling to focus on MBA Apps because it’s hot vax summer? Don’t have time during the week bc of demanding job so was planning on spending weekends working but I always have plans and zero motivation...

Big4 / International Tax / M1 / NYC / Base salary? JD or JD LLM

Anyone know about comp as a strategy and product development associate at Citadel, in the office of CAO?

So I need chair recommendations. I have a $40 chair from target and being on it for 14+ hours a day is pretty much killing me. I don’t have space for a standing desk tbh and my flat feet make it hard to stand for longer periods of time. If anyone has good recommendations hopefully under $400, i would highly appreciate it!

I’m in trading operations. I graduated during COVID and it has been my ultimate goal to become a trader. I know it’s insanely difficult to pivot from back office to trading but I would welcome any advice on making that transition.

Good place to take a date for drinks in ATL?

HI Fishes, I need referral for Oracle. If anyone can refer me, please let me know. I have the job id as well. Thanks in advance.

Now that tips + gov fees are baked into Uber/Lyft/Food delivery apps, I’ve become much healthier and learned to cook this year! Bless all of you still in consulting who get more points cause of this though.
