guy who fancies himself a 'power user' rdp'ing into the laptop that has zoom on it and screaming across the room with three seconds lag

peep who asks highly specific questions about their personal situation during the generic hr benefits meeting

I just had this
someone even came up with this request to be paid fortnightly rather than monthly, which hasn't ever been a thing

the peep who sends out 30 individual meeting invites despite working in an office for 20 years and not realizing that they can be set to a repeating schedule

this is outlook's fault for not having any way of booking a recurring meeting if the resource isn't available 1/30 times

Guy who keeps chatting in the meeting chat room past the meeting end so everyone keeps getting teams notifications

Guy who accidentally joins the meeting 1 hour early, which pops up that notification toast to all the other attendees, first guy realises the mistake and leaves but the toast causes someone else to join in case they were wrong about the time, which starts the meeting, which pops up another notification, which...

that one dev whose only monitor is a 50" ultrawide and who refuses to share anything but their entire screen at any time

the person who has a Mac and always shares the full screen rather than presents the powerpoint so you can see that he has a Mac

I also like the bookmarks bar.
Nobody has ever commented on my "User Control Panel" though.

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

I just ignore the update prompt until it gets pushy and forces a restart, ruining my workflow and making me grumpy for the rest of the day

can’t really recommend it

If you piss microsoft off by not restarting your PC for a few days, there's a full-screen modal you get that has like three options on it, and I'm pretty sure that whichever one you pick then it will restart your PC without permission.

when the useless contractors finally lost their contact at my last job they dropped like twelve hours of recorded videos on us"for reference" and that's the worst bytes/information ratio I've ever seen in my life aside from mine posts

I had the pleasure of handing over an integration to the support team and they made me run a KT session on MS Teams which they recorded. It basically consists of me clicking through pages of the wiki in ADO and reading them out loud.

After the acronym "LOKI" comes up in a meeting, the girl asks "where's Thor?", which kicks off 10 minutes of back and forth Marvel jokes in the chat while the Russian sysadmin keeps droning.

We had a panel discussion where each member of the panel was assigned a marvel superhero and read out a description generated by ChatGPT and the audience had to guess who it was

It was interminable
