For me if I want to speak to someone that a chat won't resolve I would message them saying 'are you free for a call?'. I would never ring someone out of the blue on Teams.I'm not sure i 100% agree with you on this one, but everyone has their different ways of working, i suppose.
The whole idea of Teams, etc., is to enable more flexible working amongst colleagues who are scattered to the winds, but it depends also on how people like to work. Personally, i'm happiest getting my thoughts down "on paper" and sending emails, but my boss will always call me on Teams for a quick chat. Often, it is quickest to get resolution on something from a 2 minute chat - but people do need to respect your boundaries.
If i want to talk to a member of the team, i'll drop them a note in Teams to say "Got 5?" or "Free?", then i would hope that they would either call me or say "Yep" and i'll call them.
There are different status indicators on Teams which allow you to be "Focussing" or "Do not disturb", and that will block certain callers, but if you are green, it's open season , subject to being polite!
I'm back in the office after several years working from home and I'm finding it astonishing how little work is done and how much time is spent fucking around and talking everything over. And even if you don't want to get involved you are dragged into it anyway. My productivity has dropped through the floor
I was looking forward to going back in for that exact reason. It's pretty solitary when you're working entirely from home. And I'm with you, I can quiet happily crack on in an office but not when I'm being interrupted constantly. Seems nobody else can do a job without having a discussion involving everyone in the department firstNot sure why that is? I find it easy to crack on with stuff in the office and also see other adult humans. It's good.
I don't want to sit on my own, that's why I'm back in the office! My productivity is pretty easy to measure. I work in tech support so can see how many tickets I've closed every day and that number has plummeted in the office because I'm constantly being interrupted, some of the interruptions relate to work but not really things that need a discussion, other things defiantly aren't work relatedhow do you measure your productivity? I don’t know why anyone in a company would want to sit on their own and not engage and exchange ideas with colleagues
Energy companies. Just bought our own place and letter through from Eon saying estimated annual price of £2,855. However, they recommend we set up a direct debit for £386 per month. Not sure on the maths myself…
And often very annoying.The things people argue about on here are incredible.
The amount of shit i get done that is on my "important" list. Massively reduces when im in the office. People pop by and if you don't have headphones on think you're free and start chatting. Loads of just general chatter about shit.how do you measure your productivity? I don’t know why anyone in a company would want to sit on their own and not engage and exchange ideas with colleagues
Getting it replastered ?Today’s instalment - artex ceilings.
Depending on its age, be very cautious if you are considering trying to sand it off - pre-1984 it contained white asbestos to strengthen it. Leave well alone or plaster over the top of it, unless you are sure it dates from post-2000.Today’s instalment - artex ceilings.

You have a very small field of vision. The Teams dial tone is quieter than your average phone unless you have your volume inexplicably loud.

Teen motorcyclist died in high-speed crash, inquest told
An inquest into Luke Cleary's death was held at Coventry Coroner's Courtwww.coventrytelegraph.net
Up and down at about 90 in a 30 on a stolen bike, no license, no insurance and cannabis in the system. Mate left him to die at the side of the road.
Yet the police patter to the rest of them whenever they want to go out and let fireworks off and cause trouble because "they are showing their respects". Get to fuck, show them the chart of "fuck around and find out".
Chavs losing their shit about him being a lovely lad and being more offended about people who comment about it than his mate who left him to die.
Ohhhh, not my boy. He’s such a kind heart and wouldn’t hurt a fly!

"proov it woz stolen"
"tha lad wot left him woz like his bruvva"
"how wud u like it if it woz ur fam that dyed"
"every1 makez mistakez, u have too"
Fuck off.
Maybe some empathy would be good@Sky Blue Pete would be offering him tea and sympathy
Very strange isn't it.think there's a bit of censorship going on over at the Telegraph Facebook page. Says there's 143 comments but all the ones not saying he was amazing seem to have disappeared and comments now turned off
To who, though?Maybe some empathy would be good
All concernedTo who, though?
Yeah, the car driver.All concerned
I find it heart warming to see they spelt "too" in the correct context in the last line."how do u no it woz stolen"
"proov it woz stolen"
"tha lad wot left him woz like his bruvva"
"how wud u like it if it woz ur fam that dyed"
"every1 makez mistakez, u have too"
Fuck off.

Well done our education system.
Pakistan.Usually “taken to soon”
Where’s soon?
been through this a lot with all the issues I've had on my house since moving in. It's so stressful. If these people are all so busy ho come none of them can afford any sort of admin. You don't even need to employ someone, there's plenty of third party services that are pretty cheapTrying to get a trades person to do work on your house. Lots seem to think some jobs are below them and will come out but then don't bother to quote.
Builders are wealthy these days, they all live in massive house's. You can't all get a big contract payday with a big company. Spoilt buggers.
