webex is fine the problem is people not bothering how to learn very easy features despite using it for years. 'huh every time i have an all hands call it's a shitshow because no one mutes their line. oh well- guess that's that.'

webex voip is very bad and a separate app from the meeting application gotomeeting is the best overall screen sharing/voip/mobile app/it mostly just works combo

my boss, a native of New Orleans, was in his youth cursed by a voodoo priestess with an absolute inability to host a meeting that ends on time. no matter what he does, how quick he tries to get through it, or how much he attempts to defer discussion to another time there is always inevitably "one more thing" that he or someone has to bring up to be sure we get dragged past that end point. its truly impressive.

been in a meeting for at least the last ten minutes and my boss got distracted by a sophos alarm for some unreachable machine that reputedly has a virus. he's spent the entire ten minutes of this weekly status meeting trying to get into the machine and asking myself and my coworker, who have been pulled away from our computers, to ask us who this computer belongs to, or for advice on what to do with it. then we spent five minutes trying to get the remote networking guy on the phone, and another ten+ minutes to look at the monitoring. hey, my coworker doesn't un-pause alarms. hey, the bad networking guy can't set up acls for the monitoring server to reach some remote servers. i'm playing pokemon jump. anthonypants fucked around with this message at 17:25 on Jun 5, 2017 |

i dunno why we need to move away from stmeetings honestly. if the host sets up the meeting to use audio it works fine as an all in one thing. there are much more old-rear end programs to get rid of, like our support ticket system from the literal 70s

over the past couple weeks on conference calls there's been a weird trend that crops up. someone, upon calling in, invariably manages to trigger my boss's voicemail system. it plays through his whole message, tells you to leave a message after the tone, press a number to listen to your own messages, etc. and then if that person doesn't hang up, it waits for 3 minutes and says you've hit the message length limit. i assume it's my boss who's having this issue, as since this started he seems not to participate in conference calls much anymore, but he won't own up to it and we've never seen this particular magic out of him before. good times. happened again today on what turned out to be our last ever scrum call for this project. not because the project is finished, mind you... we just ran out of money to keep paying this dev firm to work on little enhancements that the business keeps wanting. i will miss their inherent nonsense.
