Publishing your teams event is not training. Example: Me: How do we currently support people learning complicated thing 1? Them: we have a training on that. (Sends link to Teams meeting saved on OneDrive) Me: groans. Waits days to get access to find out it is 5yrs old.

Yes, in person has benefits. You work for a global org, how do you propose getting everyone in person for the price of a Microsoft license?

Paid application: we provide benchmark data to compare your smile sheets against Me: how hard is it to view my results? PA: very hard. You’ll probably spend 30 minutes trying to figure it out then have to get a coworker to show you. Me: ummm.

A curse on all you app and web developers that create tools that don’t enable users to open windows in new tabs. A heinous vile hex to you all.

How it looks is ego enhancing, how it works is user enhancing. Design for what works

I think part of Spotify’s subscription strategy is repetitive ads. Let’s go new ads!

I am struggling writing a power automate flow that writes a calendar to a sharepoint list. I wish it was a little more GUI and a little less codey.

Onboarding isn’t two weeks, it’s a journey from hire to performing. How do you sustain that performance growth over 3, 6, 12 months?

Old org, default camera on. New org, default camera off. The perceived physical distance shrinks with connection. If you can, camera on people.

Paging graduate faculty. Your group work does not simulate working in the real world. Except the stress and frustration part. That’s on point.

SOP isn’t enough, it helps, but it rarely has the context everyone needs. Think about it this way, if you have a recipe that looks like SOP, can you make the dish?

Every time I take an early Teams meeting from my phone I’m paranoid that every one is going to hear me say something like “Yes, I see your butt.”

Nav bars go on the left or the top. It’s not cool or fun to put them on the right.
