Exactly, there's a lot of social pressure, but at some point you have stand up for yourself. I refuse to use skype or any of these instant messaging bullshit apps as a matter of principle.
- a_imho 10y agoToo bad every interviewer and her cat wants you to call on Skype or Hangouts.
- sotojuan 10y agoLast time I interviewed they gave me one-time use Zoom or appear.in links. That's what I'm going to use when I interview.
- dheera 10y agoI agree with GP about not liking the ad-hoc instant messaging culture. Personally, however, I am all for using them for scheduled meetings where meeting in-person is inconvenient. I love technology, but not abusing technology at the cost of learning, relaxing, and getting work done. Similarly, in general I don't take unscheduled phone calls. But I am all for scheduling calls and will make time, find good reception, and be ready to give my undivided attention when taking a scheduled call.
- askafriend 10y agoYeah! I'm sticking with my horse drawn carriage! Down with these global warming inducing combustion engines vehicles! So much social pressure to use them. Why won't my work understand that it takes me 4hrs to commute by horse?! They are so totalitarian, requiring a car and all.
