Do people join the open calls just for specific reasons? Or do they join all day? An open call is a half decent alternative during forced WFH but it’s not the same. Random hallway conversations are just that: random. An open call wouldn’t be the same unless everyone was in the call all day.
- thrower123 5y agoThere's a Teams channel that people chat in all day long. I've had to mute it, because otherwise it's just binging and bonging and flashing popups in my face constantly. If people want something, they can send an email. Those aren't ephemeral.
