this is in essence what my VM greeting says. problem is, for the old types in the office that need that voice chat capability, they know the key to skip the greeting and go straight to leaving a message, so they never hear it anyway.

because they're impatient, which is ironic as gently caress because this is guaranteed to take longer for me or anyone to get back to them.

PM- "Ok so next issue. This test user decided to attempt to inject SQL, it let him, and it returned an error. Do we need to lock this down?"
Tech- "Uh, no. It DIDNT let him, and gave an error saying don't do that. That's what that message is."
PM- "Ok can we make this friendlier? A lot of users won't understand this error."
Tech- "If we have that many users trying to inject SQL we have bigger problems."

had to change mine because we had a rate of one sheriff per week coming in. It now emails IT and management immediately if someone dials 911.

I pitched that we should just play a super-short "now dialing 911..." prompt before connecting but apparently the 0.000000000001% chance those three seconds actually mean life or death is enough to make it worth frequent firetrucks

yes, that's correct

for context, every single 911 call in the last 5 years from these phones has been unintentional

ours just forget to put the 0 when dialing internationally

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.

he's having the system call him and then no-answering

i am on three projects with the worst pm i've known. he's obviously being coached by more senior people but it isn't working.

he was stuck in a prior meeting once and so joined a call about 5 minutes late.

*beDEEP* ^ 15 as we all connect at once

a teammate of his says "let's do a roll call since there's so many of us"

he says "got it.

...

:grin:

OKAY WHO'S HERE?"

Correct that is a documented limitation for the way those handle SIP messaging in some cases

That is a setting that has always been present in the UCM.
