    You call into the dial in before you've opened the meeting.

    So you've called in, but haven't associated your number with a name

    We use Arkadin as our teleconferencing software and it's great because you can upload your Outlook contacts and it will tell you who is talking based on phone number, which is especially useful when dumbasses forget to put their phone on mute and you have to publicly shame them.

    I work in FinTech so we have mandatory compliance meetings every now and then.

    Today the word "extrapolate" was used six (6!) times in a brief exchange between two people.

    Not sure if I've mentioned it in this thread, I work for a pretty big retail company and sit in HQ. However, we don't call it "Headquarters" we call it the "Store Support Center." What grinds my gears about that is that they use "supporting the stores" as an argument to why we get literally the bare bones, legally allowed paid holidays. I've heard "It's our job to support the stores, so we have to be open when they are open in order to do that properly."

    I've never, not a single time, had to do anything that directly affects the stores.... However, I'll check into this thread on Christmas Eve when I'm diligently supporting the stores. :chan:

    That's so fucking shitty. About as good of an example of "look at us smart leadership buzz words" as I've ever seen.

    Because I'm sure it really eats at cashier Linda that Joe in Marketing may not be in today.

    I've never thought of it like that. I think it's the formality. That and it doesn't always say the email address, it says your name. If you had to give it to someone, you wouldn't have it as readily available as just scrolling down to a signature? :idk:

    I could only approve of it if the quotes were ominous and anti-establishment.

    e.g.

    "A fish always rots from the head down" - Russian Proverb

    "Let us wage a moral and political war against the billionaires and corporate leaders, on Wall Street and elsewhere, whose policies and greed are destroying the middle class of America." - Bernie Sanders

    "Freedom in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in ancient Greek republics: Freedom for slave owners." - Vladimir Lenin
