speakerphone + accent = productive use of everyone's time!

If I were ever cursed by ending up a VoIP admin literally the first thing I would do would be removing speakerphone from anyone under door-level.

And I shall be called Saint RedSquare of the Cube Farm...

people in cubicles should be issued headsets and have the speakerphone features disabled.

loving this. If you aren't important enough to have your own door you don't rate for speakerphone either.

People who speakerphone in a bullpen should be loving flayed.

I don't even dislike the guy, particularly. But get some goddamn headphones.

The "gently caress you" implied by a coworker (and my director in from out of town) taking a conference call on speakerphone in our bullpen never ceases to impress me.

And they've started inviting the guy (a third shifter I take over for in the morning) to a daily huddle on a roll-out! :iamafag:

:yotj: soon I loving hope...

People discussing whether or not they can hear each-other is, by far, my favorite thing to listen to. Especially when it's in a bullpen, especially especially over speakerphone.

To check that the room can hear me I just unmute and fake a light cough while watching the sound indicator

I usually do a quiet "ahem" thing right after I join, right before I mute.

i dropped out after about six minutes of the host asking people to mute themselves

How loving hard is it to set "Mute Entry/Exit Sounds" and "Mute On Entry"?

WebEx call hosting is a serious responsibility. Step the gently caress up.
