When it pops up on my cell phone all it will say is “wireless caller” if it’s not a contact I have saved.
The track record for this group is pretty good in that they seemingly leave companies better off than they bought them but that is of course subjective, and financial health doesn’t directly translate into a good place to work they have definitely been hands on but so far it has been more “let us show you how we can make this better” than slash and burn
I am in the middle of the first of 8 monthly sessions for “high achievers”. It’s 2-4 hours of LinkedIn pages come to life.
should I have a lawyer review this employee agreement. just a few pages. not sure I understand some of it... it kinda sounds like they say I can't get a job for 2 years after leaving the company

The biggest thing I miss from Slack that Teams doesn't offer is the "remind me" feature that Slack had. That ruled. Other than that, Teams is fine.
My previous employer was acquired by PE about a year before I started. I was there for a little under 4 years and during that time there were massive shifts in the company's overall strategy twice, minimal, if any, merit raises, never met the metrics that triggered funding the bonus pool (although they did pay them out 2 of the years anyway at least), and nickel and dimed everything. A month or so before I left I had a lengthy despite with them over reimbursing $75 of ink and paper for a printer that they had purchased for me to use at home.
For me as a software dev, Teams really still sucks for pasting code snippets and formatting them. The biggest issue I have though is that you can't thread in a chat like you can in Slack, Teams forces you to use a "team" which amounts to a message board that's so much more asynchronous than using a chat. I guess that was somewhat the intended point but I'm basically context switching having to dig through 100 teams to catch up rather than chats I can easily create and manage on the fly.
My business unit at a Fortune 5 company was purchased by a much smaller company in Oct of 2017. One of the first emails our unit received from the new company was, "we made an agreement to not let any employees go prior to January 2019". So that was a reassuring intro to Allscripts. I was gone by January of 2021. Over 70% of the people were let go before Allscripts was purchased by another company. GOOD LUCK!
