Demand my wfh arrangement be in writing, rather than just a “gentleman’s agreement”
I would have refused to participate in that Foosball tournament that a coworker begged me to be in because he needed an even number for teams.
A disaster, seriously.
I would do it all over again but I would do the bare minimum. I would do what my job duties entailed in my contract and never give any extra.
I would not have forgotten my phone. Yesterday was my first day
Congrats on the new job!
Thanks!
But you already knew not to forget your phone.
Master PowerPoint. People still love their PowerPoint.
Serious question. Is this something that GenAI can help with?
It could help you stay on topic and build good opening and summary slides. A good opening slide helps orient the audience and a good closing side summarizes well. Both help in making sure a decision is reached or the audience is aligned after the presentation.
Thank you!
Maybe. I would need it to follow specific brand guidelines and team requests but at the same time know when to make the creative decision to break rules and dismiss requests. I don’t think the tech is there yet. I have already incorporated other AI tools in my workflow but they have only helped on small and simple tasks.
What I really need is for Microsoft to create a version of PowerPoint that’s meant for designers.
Thanks for clarifying. I honestly didn’t know and this is great insight!
no
You’re starting now (not going back to the past).
This makes it a bit more difficult since I designed most of the architecture at my work. It would take a lot of work to be taken seriously again and not have my opinion being discarded because I’m the newcomer.
I would have to prove myself all over again though, not something I’d look forward to.
I will demand more money having the know-how of a lifelong industry professional
Preach 🙌
I would not mention as much of my personal life as I did.
People are going to make decisions based on more than just merit.
It might not be fair, done consciously, or with malice, but it happens.
I was going to write very much the same thing.
I’ve given too much information about my health, and now it gets used against me.
Your employer, managers, supervisors; they’re not you’re friends. You can and should remain friendly to an extent, but be careful what information you give away.
I like that… “Remain friendly, but remember they’re not your friends”.
I wouldn’t start with this company if I was starting today.
This is a very different place than it was when I started.
Well I started last week… so… everything I guess
Congrats on the new job!
Thanks!
Not have any expectations about excelling in my career, nor any expectations about having support in serving the public, although that is entirely what we do.
