figured out where they hid the meeting control panel and now i can literally drop people form the call with no warning or audio confirmation, making 'accidental' disconnects possible for annoying participants

Fortuitous Bumble posted:at my old job i was only working with people in other offices but i had to be at my office for some reason so i would just dial into meetings in the morning in my car and tell them that all the noise was skype's fault. it worked for about a year before they figured out i was actually attending our hour long stand up meetings while driving with judicious mutes and either a good car speakerphone or headset this is still possible and convincing. its only when they ask if you can see the screenshare that it gets dicey still, a year is impressive and probably a better use of your time for an hour long morning meeting

our teleconference system uses different voices by region, apparently, because our india office has a british lady while we have an american voice. sometimes its a mans voice. i honestly dont know how many voices the system has and ive been here for 7 years on the chime thing we have a slack clone that lets you send a notification chime to a room, which one coworker does randomly in the mornings. for meetings, I set my system to do not disturb (macos) which squelches everything… except this app which chimes very loudly through the room speakers, then chimes again for every reply in the chat room

luv2find creston tp hdmi cables damaged because clunky laptop dumbos dont understand good things the tablet controls are okay, but the rooms have a thin client for shares and they constantly cycle and show 'room pc connected/disconnected' over the screen and sometimes used to steal focus from your system if someone bumped the mouse some of the bigger rooms have two cameras which predatorily zoom and focus on sounds like some chameleon robot boss glowering at anyone that speaks but when video switches theyll just zoom in and out ineptly trying to focus on one speaker before giving up and going back to room view

i finally gave up and bought noise cancelling headphones because everyone else talks like theyre in a windstorm in neighboring desks/conference rooms very far away from me and they helped immensely they also double as a headset and i can play music on them while on a call so i can multitask ignore my calls at a whole new speed never imagined before today i listened to an audiobook on a conference call and it made it the most informative call in my career

Doom Mathematic posted:Could you not have just skipped the call entirely? Was someone taking attendance? theres about one minute of time im needed and the other participants are hellbent on being there the whole time in case something needs my feedback, which it never does this is a weekly status meeting that could be done in 5 minutes of short reviews but the group somehow turns into a 40 minute discussion with topics that are better one to one calls meanwhile they spam dumb emails all week that could instead be handled in this meeting. its the most tedious waterfall project group ive ever worked with

at least the other devs will just call me directly and we hammer that poo poo out in a few minutes, but you add a designer that doesn't listen, devs that are overworked, and a ba that's being forced to pm and it all goes to pot quickly
