we got a new conference call system that's based on our extension and if the person hosting the call hasn't opened the line it just tells you that the number you dialed doesn't exist. obviously this has caused all sorts of hilarious issues with people who can't put two and two together

FrozenVent posted:new procedure for teleconferences with our overseas office: we did this two jobs ago with our southern and mexico offices. this worked fine except if someone was speaking it would turn the speakers off on all the other phones so you could basically hold the call hostage as long as you were making some kind of noise.

our conference system uses the host's extension as the call-in. if they haven't started the call it tells you that the conference number doesn't exist. not that it hasn't started, that it does not exist. if you open your call 30 seconds late you can expect to receive a million loving emails titled "WRONG CONFRENCR PIN!?!,!,!!!!," this has been going on for eight months

at lastjob there was an entire team that was given sweet rear end headsets. when everyone else put in requests for them they were told that they were too expensive and we would not be pursuing a "headset direction"

Optimus_Rhyme posted:11) The company decided to give free soda to everyone. But you could only get three in a day, so they gave everyone free cards for their free soda. Everyone started hoarding soda in their cubes cause 'if they only give me three I'm going to get my three'. So they eventually stopped the 'three a day' and went unlimited, which caused people to go crazy and grab 5-6 at a time to carry. The machines would be filled in the morning (like 4 per floor) and be empty by 10am. The program was cancelled shortly thereafter. Leading to all the hoarders being smug assholes for a bit while they dranks their room temperature diet coke. ive never heard of this being successful at any company but also who the gently caress drinks three sodas a day

this isn't about conference calls but at my last job we put an old system into "sunset" and people bitched up a storm about how dumb that term was and what does it even mean so the next round of emails about it stated that we were phasing it out
