whats that
My team uses Slack. Fuck Teams. It's dogshit and horribly managed
A while ago there was a teams TV spot that used the teams notification sound and it triggered me whenever I heard it. I can't think of a better word than triggered. I have an adverse reaction to that sound
I have Slack notifications silenced and haven't checked it all day
Notifications disabled
teams is comfy and you can make groups of just you and another person(s), try doing that in slack easily. plus you can share word/excel that are linked directly and shared on onedrive
notifications off
read receipts off
status permanently set to away
>no Calls tab
you don't know suffering
fuck me, I quit my job 6 months ago but the sight of those corporate discord still gives me existential dread
how do you not get fired
my job isn't to respond to teams messages, it's to respond to emails. My manager encourages me to ignore teams messages.
I simply said my teams isn't working and if you need me email me, and when they do -while I'm fapping or sleeping- I write the email and schedule the reply early morning as if I'm hard worker lmaoo
How did you escape the corporate world? What do you now for sustenance?
there was another one with the Slack notification noise as well. It's devilish because your job has you trained to immediately pay attention when you hear the dumb noise so people don't accuse you of slacking when you're wfh.
Manager does the same thing
>status permanently set to away
Kek my supervisor got really passive aggressive about my rocketchat status being set to away permanently. Can't wait to leave
I remember working in a team where everyone was offline forever.
Corporate people would come to me trying to get in contact until I also set my status as offline for everyone.
tl;dr everyone hates being contacted by randos
implying any of that is desirable
sup wagies, heres a powershell script that keeps your teams client status on "Available"
param($sleep = 5)
$announcementInterval = 10
Clear-Host
$WShell = New-Object -com "Wscript.Shell"
$date = Get-Date -Format "dddd MM/dd HH:mm (K)"
$stopwatch
try {
$stopwatch = [system.diagnostics.stopwatch]::StartNew()
} catch {
Write-Host "Failed to start the stopwatch"
}
Write-Host "Start time:" $(Get-Date -Format "dddd MM/dd HH:mm (K)")
$index = 0
while ($true) {
$WShell.sendkeys("{SCROLLLOCK}")
Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 200
$WShell.sendkeys("{SCROLLLOCK}")
Write-Host "."
Start-Sleep -Seconds $sleep
if ($stopwatch.IsRunning -and (++$index % $announcementInterval) -eq 0) {
Write-Host "Elapsed: " $stopwatch.Elapsed.ToString('dd\.hh\:mm\:ss')
}
}
If your employer is anal enough that you need this script, you'd be much better off just getting a different job
used it heaps at my old workplace
