guy who gets asked a question, takes 20 seconds to turn his mic on to ask "sorry, I missed that, can you repeat the question" and then gives an answer that makes it crystal clear that he's been napping the entire time.

at my old job back in 2008 before zoom calls we'd have a lot of conference calls where people would dial in and talk because we had a bunch of little offices and there was someone who had a parrot and we could never figure out who owned it or when or if the parrot would strike but every now & then there'd be just like the CFO talking about whatever and then BRAAAAAAWK and then we'd have to ask that whoever has the parrot please remember to mute and no one would ever admit to having the parrot.

I was in a meeting and someone asked about the status of a project and a manager said - and this is a verbatim quote:quote:we liaised with relevant stakeholders and concluded that the project is not happenable given current constraints.

i was absolutely in awe and immediately wrote it down. I have been unable to weaponize the phrase "happenable" but i remain optimistic for future efforts

the thing is that 90% of scrums are actually status meetings and its ok to acknowledge that.

I have found the rush to table anything that isn't "FEATURE A, NO BLOCKERS! NEXT!" can be taken too far. Sometimes people take a minute or two to get around to mentioning things that affect more people. There's a nice midrange where people have more than a minute - I was at one place that literally handed off a little 1 minute hourglass egg timer thing and if you ran out of time you had to stop talking and give it to the next guy - and just letting some guy drone on endlessly about his adventures with xml validation.

PokeJoe posted:to me the black box is just like making a regular phone call i find the camera makes it a lot easier to signal simple things like yes/no, agree/disagree etc without unmuting. It's higher bandwidth communication. If I'm just listening to some allhands or whatever yeah I'll turn my camera off cause why bother but
