Sometimes if I wanna spice things up I join the meeting early, wait 10 seconds, then leave. This makes a bunch of tryhards also join early and then when I join on time I'm not the first one.

the false start cascade is the most god damned annoying thing, gently caress

person who, whenever they start talking, you gotta try really hard not to roll your eyes on camera because you know whatever they�re about to say is gonna be hella stupid

as a counterpoint: guy who has as his teams pfp finn and jake from adventure time, which is the only one ive seen in this org that isn't someone's actual photo, their pet, or nothing. and he happens to be an invaluable contributor who's key to like half the projects going on

I was screen sharing with someone last week and only after about 3 minutes of talking realized that `Taylor.Swift.The.Eras.Tour.2023.EXTENDED.1080p.WEBRip.x265.10bit.5.1-LAMA.torrent` was visible in my downloads list. Awkward.

of all the things you could have been spotted torrenting this is one of the less shameful

Guy that schedules meeting just to talk about video games. I'm here for it

there�s a meeting in everyone�s calendar on the last day of every month. it�s not an actual meeting but just a reminder for everyone to submit timesheets for the month. it�s called BOOK TIME and some people use it as a book club :3:

About 10 years ago I worked at a company with a young guy that did this. Every loving meeting we were in, he'd never mute himself and I guess echo canceling tech wasn't what it is today... we'd keep asking him to mute when he wasn't speaking because we'd get constant echo and feedback.

He was a scrum master too so sitting around in meetings was basically his job

i had this exact guy except he also thundered away at his mechanical keyboard 100% of the time other folks were talking

Woman who tells everyone to set their background to match this month's theme, this month's theme is SUMMER! Set your background to something that reminds you of summer!

3 out of 25 people do this and all three are asked to explain their background, so enjoy listening to boomers talk about their summer homes and Myrtle Beach memories for 20 minutes

i simply never show up to the kind of town hall where this bullshit happens

sending notifications to people when you join an empty meeting? is this a teams thing? how awful

i think ms fixed this but you used to get like 20 notifications of the same meeting starting when Alice would join early, sees the empty room, leaves again, meanwhile Bob sees �Alice started meeting�, joins, sees the empty room, leaves again, meanwhile Charlie sees �Bob started meeting�, joins, sees the empty room, leaves again, meanwhile Dina sees �Charlie started meeting� etc etc

one today started with "well, some people are sad, I guess some are happy but we're all still alive so there's that. Well, for now anyway".

i work for an american company and had a meeting with a senior product manager (also irish) and junior product manager (american). senior guy started the meeting with �well, was your state one of the ones to blame?� lmao
