our ceo spent way too much money building zoom conference rooms and they all suck. I think there are 50-60 people who work in the building and we have 9 conference rooms with double big screen TVs, conference cameras, gigantic pro tier mic/speaker setups and these like hardwired ipad scheduler things because the office was too big and no one could figure out what to do with all the extra rooms now him and like four other guys whose jobs i can't figure out besides "go out for lunch" and "wink at each other about drinking miller lites in the office" stand at other ends of the bullpen and holler at each other about how the conference rooms are bad and they need to buy new geegaws anyway there hasn't been anyone there that's figured out they need to mute their computer's speakers when they're in a conference room because we have $20,000 worth of redundant equipment feeding back onto itself and today i had to give a presentation which was 90% me screaming at people to mute their god drat computers

Bulgakov posted:i hope they got a bonus for this theoretical increase in business efficiency i have no loving idea what any of these people (besides the ceo i guess) do but they all have offices so they're for sure making at least 2-3x my salary maybe they did something in the past? our product launched a few months ago and is doing really well so everyone who wasn't a developer/support/internal testing doesn't actually do anything anymore except take long lunches and leave at 2:30. also we hired a bunch of project managers and like communications specialists i assume to schedule meetings in these conference rooms that each cost more than my car we also hired 0 new developers and 0 new support staff which extremely rules as our user base balloons and we're careening headlong into v2 development on poo poo awful ancient code

walked past the conference room twice today and both times the people in there were standing around the table yelling into someone's phone instead of using the tens of thousands of dollars of teleconferencing equipment because as it turns out the speaker button on the iphone works like 100% of the time.
