Honestly I was relieved, I was in the critical path of a project with an aggressive delivery date of Q1 2025, so thanksgiving, Christmas and my daughter’s birthday were all at risk. This team sucks absolute rear end

Smart, people only remember the first and last parts of a meeting. This is why notes and minutes are taken, to reassure people that middle sections of meetings actually ever happened.

I have a meeting that has been moved five times this week, joined once and then closed because only 50% of the people could join and moved again and finally, on Friday, cancelled

Oh good, I didn't have to necro this thread

Last month's town hall:

quote:

Theme – (Background) In recognition of National Pet Day, which was April 11t, please upload a photo of your loving pet. The unconditional love of a pet can do more than keep you company. Pets can increase opportunities to exercise, they can also help manage loneliness and depression by being a companion.

Please dial in no sooner than 15 minutes before the call begins and remain muted for the duration of the call.

100 peeps sitting in an auditorium watching peeps on a giant screen talking about pets for the first 30 minutes

Never ever ever attend a town hall in person. Town halls are to be “attended” virtually (ie mabye playing quietly in a window you aren’t looking at)
