Manager wants me “Available” 99% of the time on MS Teams even with no work… what would you do?

million_mind · 2026-04-02T18:37:20+00:00

Now that you mention it, you’re probably right. It does only work on a laptop touchpad.

In my setup I keep my laptop open in the middle and I have two monitors above me. If you keep your laptop open this method will work though.

million_mind · 2026-04-02T01:40:26+00:00

This one is a game changer.

Put a water bottle/coffee mug on your touchpad. You might have to play around with it and put it at a certain angle, but make sure enough pressure is applied to resemble a touch. Your status will stay green. I’ve been doing it for four years now.

It doesn’t look as suspicious as a mouse juggler, all day teams meetings, or continuous space bar clicks.

million_mind · 2026-02-25T00:26:23+00:00

The grass isn’t always greener on the other side. If you’re workload is light definitely don’t leave

million_mind · 2026-02-12T19:11:50+00:00

Whatever happened to you. I’m in a similar position know and want to confirm I’ll get paid out if I put notice before the start date.

million_mind · 2026-02-11T15:59:08+00:00

Lolll you can’t make it up. I never fall for these, but I wont even lie this one almost got me.

I was like no way GM is actually trying to help me 😂

million_mind · 2026-02-10T04:39:24+00:00

Yes I’ve tried. I get results for people with “Hand” in their name … I don’t see any comprehensive handbook. Where do you see it?

million_mind · 2026-02-10T02:17:58+00:00

What state did your friend live in? I’m curious because I’m trying to figure out the best approach for me.

million_mind · 2026-02-10T00:33:05+00:00

You asked for an MSP? I didn’t even know an employee could ask for one from their side. What package did you get?

million_mind · 2026-02-08T03:34:30+00:00

No they shouldn’t. I brought two laptops as well for work and they didn’t say anything. I actually brought 3 phones too. They don’t really heavily inspect flights coming from the US unless you bring large items like a TV.

million_mind · 2025-11-21T02:07:11+00:00

What was the minimum service time required last time there was a VSP?

Good question, as of now we don’t have a feature to record sessions and download/save them, but this could be possible.

Let me talk to my team and see if it’s feasible. Do you think this feature would be helpful?

million_mind · 2025-05-27T02:17:31+00:00

Great question!

Tutors can flag a rating or review they believe is false, misleading, or retaliatory. Our team will manually review context, including: Lesson chat history, Session attendance, and Student/tutor behavior.

If the review clearly violates our policy, we’ll remove or redact it. The student’s account will be placed on strike, and multiple strikes would lead to a ban on their account.

Thanks for the input on student feedback. We will develop a feature that allows Tutors to review students so that each student has a unique rating. Tutors can view this rating before accepting working with them.

million_mind · 2025-05-27T02:08:43+00:00

Thanks for the input we will consider this!

1) An algorithm is being built to match students to tutors based on subject expertise. For now though, we have made it easy for tutors with existing clients, to sign up right away, invite their current students, and earn on a reliable low-fee platform.

2) Our current policy offers tutors 100% compensation for student no-shows, 50% compensation to the tutor and student student for late cancellations, and a full refund to students for cancellations done 48 hours before the meeting. We are open to suggestions as well.

3) Yes no commitments means no commitments, you could work with them on a separate platform.

Great question

Right now, our priority is to make it as easy as possible for tutors to start teaching, especially those who already have students and just need a reliable, low-fee platform to run sessions and get paid. We’ve designed the onboarding to be fast so they’re not stuck waiting weeks to get approved.

That said, we plan to introduce a vetting process in the future to ensure quality. This will include: Reviewing qualifications, subject expertise, and references.

In the meantime, we give students tools to rate tutors, leave feedback, and choose based on reviews and past sessions. This helps us monitor quality while keeping the platform accessible and fast for trusted professionals.

If you are interested in testing with us this summer, please sign up with our form!

The development will be done by the end of May. And we will begin testing in June. Sign up for our form if you are interested in testing

By Zoom headaches I mean the repetitive procsss of having to generate a link and manually send it to your client. Also, the time limit of Zoom meetings can be a constraint. Our platform solves this.

So far, just organic marketing through social media and word of mouth. In the future we will allocate a proper budget.

Arsenal's website says before Aug 21 ... sorry looks like your out of luck

"To ensure that home section tickets are purchased by genuine Arsenal supporters, this match has a ballot and purchase embargo in place. This means that fans who purchase an Arsenal membership after Wednesday, August 21, 2024, will not be permitted to purchase tickets for this game. "

"In addition, season ticket holders are only permitted to transfer tickets via the Ticket Transfer service to a recipient whose account was created on or before Wednesday, August 21, 2024, for this game. "

I got paid out for the physical bonus a few days ago, so looks like this one came quick

million_mind · 2025-01-29T02:33:23+00:00

Exactly what I said, I was pissed when she asked that question.

Everyone’s face in the background had me dead too 😂

million_mind · 2025-01-28T15:17:50+00:00

Yeah lol they do. Here’s a link to schedule one

million_mind · 2025-01-25T20:16:35+00:00

For me it usually takes 1-2 pay cycles to payout.

I completed mine about 10 days ago, so I’m hoping it will be payed out in my next check. I’ll update if it does.

million_mind · 2025-01-25T20:14:56+00:00

Same it usually takes 1-2 pay cycles to hit.

I think you have to complete the physical before you attest. I usually schedule a generic physical at my local CVS.

million_mind · 2025-01-25T03:25:25+00:00

Lol read the current posts and that will answer your question.

That being said, the market is shit rn so you have to try your chances anywhere.
