tehinternet: Feb 14, 2005; Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

This is the way

And to the dude who was mad at pings, just turn on DND or turn down your volume or idk turn down the volume in the Windows mixer

And whoever was having issues shutting down teams, that sounds like a bad GPO or script, idk.

You think I'd let a messaging program make a sound at me? Lol no.

But I do see your notifications bothering the hell out of me. I'm not going to put DND on, because I need my notifications from other people, but I am probably going to mute you and then forget that you exist and then one day it's going to be important and your poo poo is going to go to the ether

Phoning somebody within your company when you use Teams without a quick message to ask if they can take a call has always been jarring to me. If it happens to me I expect it to be urgent and it�s always something that could have been an IM.

Same, I always check if it�s ok to call because I know how annoying it is to context switch when you�re 2 hours into a complex issue and you�ve almost found the root cause.

I don't like teams, because we had slack but are moving to teams, and a company we acquired has teams that we are heavily involved with. So I get messages on slack, teams, and teams (guest). loving end me

The pro move is to send a Teams message, then wait 10 seconds, then call to ask whether the recipient has read the message.

Currently working at a contact center, customer support

Internally, we use teams, to chat with managers etc. We also are guests in the client's slack, with access to specific channels, to post questions to them.

The "we'll be out for the holidays until January 8" message is still up in the slack, which means our ordinary form doesn't work, so everyone posts freehand

Christ, yes, it's horrible. There were two people I used to interact with who had that habit and they were always the two people I wanted to hear from least to begin with. Random calls didn't improve anyone's opinion of them.

1st level support on incidents/change requests, I think MS365 stuff. I'll be employed by a company, which does IT services for others, and attached to a specific client to start with.

They offer certs and study, as well as potential to upgrade, for example joining implementation teams and so on, and I think the line is to eventually become their own guy, rather than attached to that client. Indefinite-term contract, potential for raises, it's a field I've wanted to go into for years, plus addressing just about all my complaints with the CS company (fixed-term contracts, no raises, no development, etc)

Doesn't work great on dark mode either, the hands are pretty thin so they're not very visible, it's the sentiment that counts

Yeah, this poo poo can be infuriating especially if there's a time zone difference. Please kindly give me something actionable when you contact me, so that 6 hours later when I get to work I can simply reply with the answer you need.

Otherwise I'm simply going to reply with "Hello", which you'll see 12 hours from now. We get to spend another day in limbo together. Hooray :confuoot:

This feels like a specific situation tho. You should be aware of when the people you are pinging work, and tailor your interactions appropriately.

If its someone in or near your TZ its more socially acceptable to be more conversational, while yeah, if someone is on the other side of the planet the message should effectively be an email.

The point is, don't waste my time and make me to stop thinking of what I was working on while I wait for you to say something useful.

Hey, how are you doing? Hey listen, I am trying to list contents of a file system, can you help?

Teams owns, it's a fantastic collaboration and productivity app that manages to do 90% of what a bunch of other apps combined can do, bundled with M365. When it launched it needed more time in the oven but nowadays it's pretty great.

Really depends on the relationship with the person pinging imo

The root problem is applying something that is polite in synchronous communication (waiting for a reply after the greeting when you meet face to face) to asynchronous communication, where it frustrates everyone involved.

Spend a few months coming back from meetings to several "Hi"s in your chats, and silence when you reply (the other side is now in a meeting/at home/eating/etc.), and I guarantee you will go absolutely barmy.

Please, I beg you people, tell me what you want, what you really really want, when you contact me.
