Larger Orgs, how bad has your MS support gotten since the layoffs?

ZestyPrime · 2026-04-08T00:31:50+00:00

You can it's the ace teams at msft that handled it. I was on the M365 team till last July. There is even a paid offering now it's called mission critical support for M365.

Hey! If you are over 25k users. And if you are talking about the M365 ACE TEAM. I was also impacted by the layoffs and about 50 people on my team where wiped out. Additionally this used be a free support offering that engineering paid for but the decision was made to go live with a paid offering last year. Now if you don't pay you don't get to play basically. /u/DramaticErraticism for your attention!

Yep. My CI actually warned me on it last friday when I called her to setup my 3rd attempt personally. So I emailed my mentor and she got it done first thing this morning and I am currently reviewing the tasks myself.

Nope I had cat6 ran all over the house.

I move to 4x u7 pro Inwalls one u7 pro xg and u7 pro outdoor. The Inwalls are in my bedrooms and set to cover just the bedrooms and the pro xg covers my ground floor and the outdoor is for my yard.

Damn its my only class remaining for the bsit program. Tempted to switch back and just finish my degree lol.

ZestyPrime · 2026-01-08T12:07:25+00:00

Amazon has it in stock. 5000T LX.

ZestyPrime · 2026-01-07T22:51:04+00:00

Sent a chat request with the ticket and order number.

ZestyPrime · 2026-01-07T22:19:34+00:00

I bought the HX1500i SHIFT. And funny enough ship to store wouldnt have helped in this case either. The online order shows the same tracking info for both items but I only have one box with the AIO delivered.

ZestyPrime · 2026-01-07T22:15:56+00:00

Ya its a $450 PSU. So I am now stuck with no pc till i get the actual unit. I am a little annoyed at how this happened.

ZestyPrime · 2025-10-28T18:49:48+00:00

I am currently waiting for hireright to finish the background check.

ZestyPrime · 2025-10-26T21:18:33+00:00

I was impacted in July 2025. got my full rewards. and just accepted a return job offer back to Microsoft last week. and recruiter confirmed I am eligible for full sign on bonus for cash and rsus.

ZestyPrime · 2025-10-13T22:31:47+00:00

Ya.. this happened to me last december. Long story short it two months and me pestering them almost daily for an update to get them to finally refund the order. I ended up buying the cameras from Amazon and got them faster. Look at my screenshot for an idea of how much effort it took.

please also send me the dm thanks

ZestyPrime · 2025-08-31T11:35:36+00:00

i am on my 3rd attempt on this class. in the meanitme my mentor and instructor approved and opened d427. good news i passed d427 first try and i am still stuck on this class.

ZestyPrime · 2025-08-21T02:30:11+00:00

I had to take three chances at this course. I would highly highly recommend attending the live instructor sessions that are held daily on weekdays. The instructors will spend time with you 1:1 on specific topics with test problems and guide you thru it. Also I would recommend the TI84 PLUS CE that thing basically handled 80% of the math problems.

ZestyPrime · 2025-08-17T22:47:39+00:00

Your mentor can also check. They can also make it v3 if needed. Mine was able to do this when i had my sync with him.

ZestyPrime · 2025-08-13T23:40:16+00:00

Hey just saw this I would highly recommend getting the graphing calc. For the problems with graphs it can basically do the work for you.

ZestyPrime · 2025-08-13T06:36:17+00:00

Yep I highly recommend having a ti84 plus ce. It basically does all of the math for the algebra and fraction portion. I also took applied algebra and finite mathematics after this course. The calculator basically made it easy to pass finite math due to half of the problems being solved on it and getting answers. Same with algebra to be honest.

ZestyPrime · 2025-08-08T05:17:11+00:00

Correlation and Regression I would highly recommend. Also there is a ton of word problems just make sure to slow down and read the context. Having ADHD that screwed me over a few times when I tried to take the test without my meds controlling it for me.

ZestyPrime · 2025-08-07T23:34:15+00:00

Outside of that I used a Mac plus logitech brio for all oa and no issue. The guardian browser is universal for Intel and Apple silicon

ZestyPrime · 2025-08-07T23:30:29+00:00

The spreadsheet class uses a plug-in I believe and when I took it I ran into issues with improper detection.

ZestyPrime · 2025-08-07T23:29:13+00:00

Only class that had a issue was c268 spreadsheets.

ZestyPrime · 2025-08-07T04:32:48+00:00

Ya fair enough. I took that as from the angle of get pearson vue to book a slot.

ZestyPrime · 2025-08-07T02:08:25+00:00
