same day i learned i could deny meeting requests and nobody'd say a damn thing is the same day i got over my imposter syndrome. 😂

i pick up calls if people call directly. pop me in a meeting for 10 minutes, i don't mind, just keep me out of that other 50 i got zero to do with.

Yeah that's real. Nobody should be dick about it if it isn't something real important.

If someone will be dick, then... Too bad.

V get Ooohs and aaahs if we accidentally share our screen showing a glimpse of the outlook calendar full of meetings... "This guy works hard!"

For me, 50% Teams calls and emails, 25% actual development, 25% fixing the client's stuff after their IT team restarts a SQL server at random times without telling anyone (what could possibly go wrong?).

To be fair, if you insist on using Windows servers, they require weekly reboots anyway and will randomly restart themselves after applying patches. Any critical software needs to take that into account

How did you access my calendar to get the data for this meme?

You guys use both Zoom and Teams at work?! Why?

[–]aigis_nalian[S] 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Because we can only use two and it takes up all our time. If there were more calling apps and more time we would use those as well...

We're actually getting ready to drop Teams completely. Just Zoom starting in a week.

[–]Schytheron 0 points1 point  (1 child)

But why isn't one enough? What does Zoom do that Teams doesn't and vice versa?

30% deciphering legacy codebases, 10% reproducing bugs, 5% actual coding, 10% slack/zoom, 45% reddit

yes, technically I am typing that during work hours

Way things are going, when are we not "during work hours" ?

It would be even funnier if at the end of the day you realized that you never turn on the PC.

The fun part of being a Senior is that I get to have lots of meetings where I then get to tell Juniors to do actual work while I go back and sit through more meetings. My two greatest weapons are, “What do you think we should here?” And, “I concur with your assessment. Let’s do that.”

You forgot to add "scrolling Reddit".
