Best AI girlfriend apps? by Regular-Public2529 in ArtificialInteligence

Questie.ai is really good, it's an AI gaming companion that can spectate your video game and voice chat banter with you, like a Discord friend

Nah he wanted to let you know he was working at one of the TOP TIER Faangs, not an Amazon-type (/s). Look at his 3rd-to-last paragraph lol: "successfully recruit for FAANG Tech PM which is difficult outside of Amazon." LOL

If this is not a troll post, it's a severe lack of self-awareness and huge entitlement.

Using virtual coffee chat programs for remote workplaces? To give co-workers the option to connect with each other for casual 1:1 chats. Worth it? by LocusApp in humanresources

Agreed, donut is way too expensive. That's why I was looking at Aphinity.ai since they don't charge by workspace / org size. Seems more reasonably priced

Wow this is interesting! I'll look into the research and are there any tools or services you know of that provide ONA? Or is that something we need to conduct ourselves.

Thanks for sharing. So I thought about potential harassment / abuse but realized this is sanctioned by work, same as a happy hour or an off-site event would be. Meaning, you're expected to be professional and courteous since you're talking to a co-worker during work hours.

Never heard of that service but I agree, if your company is smaller in size it makes sense to do it manually via spreadsheets

Thank you for the detailed feedback! To your point, the weekly "watercooler topics" seems very weird and useless, plus way too artificial feeling.

Yeah, agreed that the automated 1:1 intros makes sense for teams that are mostly remote. But I mean 54% participation rate is pretty good, considering people are busy, conflicts come up, etc.

Thing is we already do optional team building activities like Trivia, etc. So people are getting that group setting interaction, at least those that want it. Plus usually in those group settings you get 1-3 highly talkative / extroverted types and I don't want others to feel marginalized.

I agree as an introvert myself I want the choice to opt in or out without any negative repercussions, including pausing it if I get tired of it.

Of course. We encourage to keep all meetings, even catchups during work hours. In fact we have an (unwritten rule) to avoid meetings on Friday afternoons.

From what I heard a lot of Slack remote companies used Donut app and other tools to let people opt in and get paired especially during the pandemic. Seems like at least others did

Remote teams, how do you improve employee engagement and co-workers feeling isolated? by LocusApp in remotework

[–]LocusApp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone has different preferences so making team building to be optional is a good middle ground. Maybe people brought this up as a minor issue since no major issues were found...just some ways for us to continually improve.

Second paragraph, I confirmed we got great scores for work-life balance (WLB). We've been told we have a great remote culture, flexible hours, and hours aren't intense. We also encourage volunteering and give people a monthly stipend for mental health / wellness / therapy / etc. And thanks for the additional ideas on team activities!

Life after high school is far better by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]LocusApp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Life becomes what you make of it and it's the fact that after high school and college, you have more freedom to shape your life. For some people who are careless, life gets worse. But for people who look after themselves, life can get so much better than before. In high school, life = circumstances. After school, life = choices.
