#zoom

Does the manager need to be in the off ice when they setup zoom calls with their team members to let them go? Was this covered in the training this AM?

at what point do we admit passing on the Zoom deal might’ve been a huge mistake for shareholders and the company? all we see now is mostly layoffs, low morale and a sinking ship talk. how does everyone think it would’ve turned out? Zoom CX seems to be doing just fine without us

Topping the list: not turning off your audible notification for Teams messages. Or letting them pop up during zoom calls.

What’s up with the new zoom water marking? Are they trying to prevent leaks?

Thanks goodness for RTO. My productivity is way up. So much so I wanted to share my successful office routine:

9:00am: Well actually 9:23am because you know, traffic. Roll in sit down. Get that laptop out and for it up.

9:32am: Laptop is logged in open email and Teams so it looks like I'm here. Time for coffee. Let's go to the break room. Taking the scenic route.

9:52am: Got back with my coffee and snack. Time to look at my calendar. Okay first meeting at 10:30am. Time to check Fox News and trade some stocks.

10:30am: First Zoom meeting glad I'm in my cubicle to talk to everyone on Zoom.

11:00am call is over. Was intense. I need to walk around and think about it.

11:20am: Walking around and time to take a dump.

11:45am: Made it back to cube after walk and dump. Check emails. Buy something on Amazon. Trade some stocks.

12:00pm: Lunch time. Let's drive somewhere.

1:30pm: Back from my long lunch. Let's check Fox News again. Trade some more stocks. Next call at 2:00pm.

2:00pm: Next Zoom call. Super productive now that I am in the office. Vibe is way different than taking a Zoom call at home.

2:30pm: That call was intense. Time to go for a walk. Bathroom break, break room break and outside break.

3:15pm: Back at the desk. Trade a couple more stocks. Work on an excel for 10 minutes. Getting tired. Time for another coffee..

3:45pm: Back at desk with coffee. Check eBay and look at emails. Traffic probably bad. I need to leave early.

4:15pm: I'm out of here. Kids home from school. Bye.

Any idea how it’s going to go down tomorrow? Obviously we aren’t getting a zoom mtg request from our dept head and HR…especially since our dept head has left the company.

just curious .. the HR post says Wednesday but my boss seems to think it's Tuesday We are WFH all week .. encouraged to WFH
anyone else ...
also email or manager zoom ?

Say a mass layoff happens next week like it did back in 2015. Will the meetings where they break the news to people be over Zoom? Will there be a room option and a Zoom option tied to the meeting. I’m just trying to picture how this will all work given our hybrid model, as that obviously wasn’t a thing they really had to worry about back in 2015. I honestly hope it’s just a Zoom call. Sounds less traumatizing lol

The only thing more consistent than their quarterly all hands metings is their biannual migration between Teams and Zoom.

Every six months, executives, fresh off a “strategy retreat” involving buzzwords, golf carts, and a suspicious amount of Sodabi, decide that this time, the other platform is the holy grail of productivity. Cue the chaos: a month of re-training, a month of muttering, and four months of pretending it was genius. Historical recordings? Gone. Lost to the void, sacrificed at the altar of “thriving family”.

But don't worry, leadership assures everyone: next time, they'll get it right.

Last year my teammate got promotion - got quick zoom call with manager who announced him promotion from level 1 to level 2, but with no financial upgrade. What is the sense of giving employees only titles which means more workload for a less money.
