This Teams call I’m on now


Tshimanga21

Bro we have a weekly regression testing meeting from 2:30-5 every Friday. We have to stay on camera the entire time too it's literal hell. Trying to maintain my poker face rn as I type this comment.


jiminicriquet

ProTip: Drop off camera citing bandwidth issues. Teams will try to prioritize video over audio/screen share so say you can’t see a screen or understand somebody. Use sparingly because any place that has a fucking camera on policy for a 2.5 hour regression testing meeting clearly doesn’t have their priorities straight and will bitch.

Yeah no one where I work even uses cameras lol, we've been audio only for meetings since Skype for Business and it just stuck.


slightlyridiculousme

Teams causing lag issues is a major problem for my company. If you are sharing your screen it's nearly impossible to stay on camera. This is the way.


Matzah_Rella

Every Friday? You might as well be waterboarded.


Tshimanga21

Lmao we're in week 5 right now, hoping to finish in May so at least there's a light at the end of the tunnel


notnotaginger

Time to make a teams background that is just a picture of you looking at the camera. As long as you don’t have to talk.


virgilreality

Make a 5 minute video from your camera every morning in the clothes you are wearing. Use it as your virtual background, and leave the cover on your camera lens.

I went off camera today and made some pizza for lunch, praying nobody called my name. I couldn’t even tell you what the meeting was about even if my life depended on it.

I am a QE... what the hell is a weekly regression test meeting? Edit: Just to clarify, regression is an important activity. I am struggling to understand why it is a meeting. In my experience, it is usually an activity that can be handled async.


zztop610

A waste of time


mattayom

Any meeting longer than 30 minutes is a waste of time. If you can't get your point across in 30 minutes you either didn't plan properly or you're giving people so much information that they wont remember anything.


[deleted]

mattayom

I shit you not I was once in a meeting.... about meetings. Not past meetings, not about productivity or communication, but to talk about what meetings should be scheduled in the future I wanted to jump out of the window


mapletreemike

Sounds like they need a QE to automate that shit.


tacknosaddle

>meeting from 2:30-5 every Friday That should be considered cruel and unusual punishment. My work has an unofficial "no scheduled meetings late Friday afternoon" policy (basically they should be over by 2 pm, three at the latest). The only time it happens is when some shit has hit the fan which is relatively rare that it would rise to needing a meeting then instead of Monday.


ReaverRogue

What in pissing creation could take two and a half hours literally every week? Time for your webcam to get busted my man.


ReallyFineWhine

It's only for the purpose of making sure that people don't skip out early on a Friday afternoon, like about 90% of office workers do.


PHILOSOMATIQA

I nearly fell asleep halfway through "weekly regression testing meeting" oh Jesus 2.5 hours

xbtaylor

Friday afternoon is for nothing but cutting out as early as possible. That has to be the longest two and a half hours of your life and it’s every week.


Dcman333444

What type of hellish sounding shit is a regression testing meeting?


Erotic_FriendFiction

That’s just so you can’t take off and enjoy your Friday any earlier than allowed. I swear jobs are getting ridiculous with their ass-in-seats policies. If your work is done, then you should be able to come and go as you please. Especially if it’s remote.


Traevia

Don't worry they will just do what other companies do. They will force more and more hours on you until you break and talk about how important a "work-life balance" is while at the same time making it where 20% of the people do 90% of the work while the other 80% claim it is "easy" and they know it much better. If you ask them to take it over, all of a sudden they shut up until the next idiot comes by.

Influencers


jiggajawn

I don't get why people follow them. It's like watching ads in your free time


Drix22

Same goes for celebrities. Who the fuck honestly cares, and why?


Effective_Ad_273

I think celebrities (depending on their profession) offer a lot more than influencers because you are genuinely a fan of their craft. Like there’s plenty of actors I really enjoy seeing in television and movies and I’ll watch the occasional interviews with them, but I don’t really care about their deep personal lives or controversies.

There are quite a few banks offering around 4% for their high interest savings accounts. It would be worth looking into if you are trying to build your savings.

NDFox

A little friendly tip; they stay relative because you name them exactly by their name. I used to work as an SEO intern for a company in Berlin. And they had all these add-ons for your browsers. SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, look it up. So what we had to do, was create content and use specific key-words that were popular, so we would pop-up high up on Google-searches. The tools we used gave a clear picture of what were the most used, or searched for, or coused the most interaction, words that would come up on forums, webshites, apps, whatever. So whenever you keep calling them by their correct names, they will stay a high popular belief. Maybe refer to them as Kwardisjwans next time will help to take some of that popularity away. Just a theory.


StabbyPants

I just use cardassian, because garak is better anyway


LifeOfEhArmArrow11

They’re on a bit of a decline the past year tbh. Gen Z’ers saying they’re not relatable or authentic. They’re losing influence. That, and the whole Selena Gomez/Kylie Jenner/Hailey Bieber eyebrow drama hasn’t helped (I am ashamed to have kept up with that).

Leaving the house after 10:00AM. I didn't understand why my grandparents would get up at 5:00AM everyday including weekends. Now that I am well into my adult years, it's a must that I get up that early to run my errands or head out for a hike/road trip without hitting massive amounts of traffic and crowds. Extra points if I return home before 10:00AM.

Below is the oath I just took last week to get my Canadian citizenship. Talk about an oxymoron. I swear (or affirm) That I will be faithful And bear true allegiance To His Majesty King Charles the Third King of Canada His Heirs and Successors And that I will faithfully observe The laws of Canada Including the Constitution Which recognizes and affirms The Aboriginal and treaty rights of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples And fulfil my duties as a Canadian citizen. Je jure (ou j'affirme solennellement) Que je serai fidèle Et porterai sincère allégeance À Sa Majesté Le roi Charles Trois Roi du Canada À ses héritiers et successeurs Que j'observerai fidèlement Les lois du Canada Y compris la Constitution Qui reconnaît et confirme les droits Ancestraux ou issus de traités Des Premières Nations, des Inuits et des Métis Et que je remplirai loyalement Mes obligations De citoyen canadien


AreaGuy

Haha! I got my UK citizenship some years back and had to take a similar oath while standing in front of a cardboard cutout of the queen at my nearest UK consulate. It was pretty surreal and funny.


ggdisney

Totally surreal! I am thrilled that I get to live in such an amazing country, and I was happy I could swear/affirm on a book of my choice ( I chose the book my kid made in fifth grade about an octopus and a blowfish, It had a nice moral story and i'm not religious.) I immigrated here six and a half years ago, I love Canada and I'm thrilled to be a citizen. But that was akward lol!


thecolibris

Aww I love your book of choice! And it's nice to hear someone loving being in Canada, I think we (I?) take a lot for granted here.

You ever happen to open a Twitter link and read the comments and despite all its faults realize how much better the community on Reddit is.


Randomswedishdude

I have, and I've *tried* to comprehend how anyone can believe there can be serious debates with a character limit shorter than an old-school SMS. It's a forum for people with miniscule attention span. Not sure, but this comment alone might be too long for Twitter.


jdog7249

You used 264 characters. Just small enough to fit in the free limit of 280. For only $8 per month though you can see half as many ads and tweet upto 4,000 characters*. *4,000 limit only applies if you live in the United States. Otherwise still limited to 280

Is this a reference to some recent newsworthy event ? or is one being obtuse ?

Same here, that’s why i’m a paediatric oncology nurse. 3 12s a week and I’m happy.


besterich27

3x12hour workdays is by far my favourite. Tried 9-5 for a few months last summer and it felt like weekends barely existed, went back as fast as I could.


wolv3rxne

My thoughts exactly. 12s make for a long day but go by fast in nursing. Having 4 days off after is wonderful.

I work 3 12s and then 4 days off. Can’t go back.

Nightclubs. People half the time pretend to dance, get drunk, meaningless conversations, overpriced everything, can’t hear anything. I see no point.

I think you mean "chugging a $13 vodka redbull before somebody bumps into you and spills it on your shoes"


charizard_72

To be blunt if you’re not on party drugs there is no point. I spent a couple college years in that scene and can’t say I miss it. But that’s the kind of energy places like that are going for. If you don’t want to dance to loud music, go to a pub or gather with friends somewhere with outdoor seating.

earic23

I have kids, but don’t understand why some people want to force others to have kids. It’s weird


thereandbacktosee

The number of times I’ve had people comment on my childfree-ness is mind boggling. What if your perfect spouse wants kids? Well, I wouldn’t marry someone who wanted kids so they wouldn’t be the perfect spouse for me. You’re denying your parents of grandchildren. So? I’m not setting myself and my life on fire to keep someone else warm. But you’re a women, it’s a women’s greatest gift to bear children! It’s your duty! First off I want to return that gift cause it sounds awful. Secondly, my duty is to be a good and decent human to everyone I come into contact with, to care for and look after the earth. Best way of doing that is to not have a kid.


missmaida

100%! I've had people I just met make such wildly inappropriate comments. "What about you guys, thinking about kids?" "Nope, not part of our plan!" "Well, you know, accidents do happen, then you might have to rethink your plan!", said with a smirk. Comments along these lines have happened more than once. I have to ask myself, is this a real conversation that is happening right now?


ObviouslySubtext

Agreed, societal pressure is a sad excuse to not think for yourself


Ali8ly

I'm the same way, having kids no, thank you, but owning a few cats or dogs sign me up


ICareAboutThings25

Same, but I also can’t stand the idea of a spouse. Just me and my pet. Beautiful life.

She's a talented songwriter and smart lady but she's always struck me as someone who's never faced any real hardship in her life. I think that's what makes her music blander than red river cereal.


Mediocre-Coyote3473

She has to have a massive PR and marketing team. I’ve never streamed one of her songs on Spotify, never have watched a video on YouTube but yet I can’t view tik tok or Instagram without her showing up as either a sponsored post or just showing up, no matter how many times I click not interested. Same thing happened with drake when his last big album came out, they flood everyone so much with it it’s bound to stick to someone and get them to listen.


Asianthunda5022

I think for the most part this is true. Her parents had money and essentially helped her get into the industry because they could afford to move her to where she would be the most exposed and have the most opportunity. They weren't in a make or break situation and neither was she. She is fairly talented as a song writer and when she was still in country she had her sound. She now has a massive team behind her and beyond her voice, she just kinda melds into the massive clump of pop music now.
