being able to yell about your frustrations with coworkers with nobody to overhear you is a little-appreciated perk of working from home i think

if it's just five minutes it's lame as hell to mention it like i will tell my students "well, there's still half an hour left but we're done for today, you can just head out if you like" but if i did that with five minutes left in the class? what a weenie move.

on that note peeps joining from the dogshit meeting room at work that's a hodgepodge of lovely components slapped together on the cheap yeah ok the room system is expensive and that's stupid and i know you're super smart and we 'could do this on a spare machine we have' for much cheaper. you're gonna be spending 15 minutes every time you use the loving room to set it up then you're going to be spending the rest of the meeting not hearing anything / not being heard. just buy the dumb overpriced horseshit through gritted teeth and save everyone a lot of time

having "hybrid" meetings is a fool's errand anyway even if you have the fancy polycom/cisco kit there will be side conversations and all sorts of other remarks going on and sharing a screen from a laptop in the room is usually fraught just do it with everyone joining the VC

~Coxy posted:having "hybrid" meetings is a fool's errand anyway yeah. just doing a zoom has its advantages, just being in a room together has its advantages, but mixing them has only downsides. we still do them now and then, but almost invariably it is tacitly understood that the zoom attendants are second-class as far as conversation goes (and pretty much no one minds, because the interaction is not any more pleasant for the person on zoom).

thankfully we have no office space so i do not have to deal with those any more, but they were always situations where i tuned the gently caress out unless The Room specifically addressed me by name

the scrum master who doesn't cancel the morning standup even though the only person joining is the guy who's leaving the company in three days while everyone else is on break. just so they can say, 'everyone else is on break and you don't have any items assigned to you but do you have any updates?' and when they're told no they go through each ticket anyways to ask if there's any updates on each one thank loving god i'm leaving this place

“ok I know I only have 2 minutes left to present this, but I think I can manage this. I had this down to 5 minutes when I practiced it, but I think it’ll be fine. I’ll keep it quick, I promise. Um actually do you mind if I share my screen instead? I’d like to control the slides. can you hear the video? darn, let me check the settings”

when you schedule a meeting with two other people but you all have higher priority work and canceling at the last second gives everyone a nice solid hour without interruptions for once
