JL Johnson :veri_mast:<p>So, if I’m on back to back calls while constantly adding to my to-do list… At what point can I do the things I’m picking up along the way? 😱🤯</p><p><a href="https://vmst.io/tags/CorpLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CorpLife</span></a></p>
Brian Davis<p>If I have to spend a couple days fighting PowerPoint to make a slide deck, you can bet your boots it's gonna be full of annoying animations and goofy clipart. </p><p>At least I'll be amused. </p><p><a href="https://vmst.io/tags/CorpLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CorpLife</span></a></p>
JL Johnson :veri_mast:<p>The person behind the bot said they didn't mean to send it. I guess she uses it for work stuff and somehow it latched onto our invite, too. </p><p>I asked for a copy of the notes and it was mostly just a transcript. Nothing too exciting. </p><p>I dumped it into ChatGPT and after THREE refreshes (first three were garbage and had nothing to do with the meeting) I got mostly OK notes I could use as a starting point. </p><p>OK, fine... I see limited utility here. </p><p><a href="https://vmst.io/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/AIshit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AIshit</span></a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/LLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LLM</span></a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/CorpLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CorpLife</span></a></p>
JL Johnson :veri_mast:<p>I'm generally digging my new gig and expanded roles at the Conglom-O Corp. But boy howdy, it's hard going from the well connected, know-it-all, poster child to what some days feels like dumb intern. </p><p>Yay for the ability to learn and grow. But yikes for the discomfort of not being the expert, and not having the colleague network I built over 20 years on the other side of the company. <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/CorpLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CorpLife</span></a></p><p>EDIT: Not suggesting all interns are dumb. Suggesting that I feel like an intern, who is maybe at the bottom of their class. And was picked last. HA</p>
JL Johnson :veri_mast:<p>I spent the morning stressing about presenting complex stuff on a meeting with a bunch of new-to-me directors and VPs. </p><p>But it turns out I was sent the wrong invite and the meeting just ended. Not sure if I should be excited about the week reprieve, or offended that no one missed me, or bothered to reach out. 🤷🏻‍♂️</p><p><a href="https://vmst.io/tags/CorpLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CorpLife</span></a></p>
lizzzzard<p>Habe heute beim Frauennetzwerk-Treffen meines Betriebs wieder Geschichten gehört, da haben mir die Ohren geschlackert.</p><p>Mein Vorsatz für die nächste Woche ist jetzt, einem Mann im Meeting vorzuwerfen, "er sei zu emotional", und dann mal zu beobachten, was passiert. Oder vielleicht auch, einen Mann mit Kindern im Arbeitskontext als "Pappi" zu titulieren.<br><a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/feminismus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>feminismus</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/CorpLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CorpLife</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/patriarchat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>patriarchat</span></a></p>
JL Johnson :veri_mast:<p>Lady I'm in a meeting with is sharing her notes. On many talking points she has F.U. It's for follow up, but I'm still laughing because I'm a child. </p><p><a href="https://vmst.io/tags/CorpLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CorpLife</span></a></p>
JL Johnson :veri_mast:<p>Just heard on my conference call: "Sure, we're done. But I wouldn't call it complete." </p><p>Amazingly, this totally makes sense to me. </p><p><a href="https://vmst.io/tags/CorpLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CorpLife</span></a></p>
JL Johnson :veri_mast:<p>Today I’m skipping my <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/CorpLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CorpLife</span></a> work to attend a <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/KC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KC</span></a>-area conservation luncheon. Turns out being president of a nonprofit has some cool perks. A real who’s who of conservation types and NGO leaders. Nice!</p>
Ricky<p>Company is having a "Tech Talk by the legal team." That's cringe.

JL Johnson :veri_mast:<p>I found an old Chromebook that I was sure to be expired, turns out it's good 'til 2027. Nice! I plugged it into the dock work gave me for my WFH setup and it immediately freaked out demanding the dock be updated. Uh... Thanks Google? Also why isn't my company pushing updates?! 🤯 <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/CorpLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CorpLife</span></a></p>

JL Johnson :veri_mast:<p>Part of my newly expanded role at work is finance and portfolio management. Which on one hand is kind of interesting. But on the other hand... is TERRIBLE. </p><p>It's a new year. So all of these teams across the enterprise have a fresh infusion of cash and want their projects (and MY limited resources) NOW.</p><p>I get it. But also: I have my own projects I need my dev teams working on. So get in line. Cue the escalations, whining, and complaining...</p><p><a href="https://vmst.io/tags/CorpLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CorpLife</span></a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/SDLC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SDLC</span></a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/ProjectManagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProjectManagement</span></a></p>
JL Johnson :veri_mast:<p>I'm picking up a chunk of responsibility from a guy at work, "growing my influence," or whatever. </p><p>On a call with him and his business partners as they tear him apart for not (from their perspective) doing his job to support them. </p><p>This ought to be fun. 😲 </p><p><a href="https://vmst.io/tags/CorpLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CorpLife</span></a></p>
JL Johnson :veri_mast:<p>I have 30 days of PTO to blow this year, and it’s burning a hole in my pocket more than a wad of 100s. </p><p>As my kid would say, “let’s gooooooooo!” <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/CorpLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CorpLife</span></a></p>

JL Johnson :veri_mast:<p>GIF of me exercising restraint, as the person presenting on this conference call keeps calling the icon of a tapered piece of lab glass as a "beaker"... </p><p><a href="https://vmst.io/tags/CorpLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CorpLife</span></a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/WellActually" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WellActually</span></a>... <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/flask" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>flask</span></a></p>

JL Johnson :veri_mast:<p>My company can't decide on if we want to use Rally, or Jira. So, obviously we're using both. Because, why not?</p><p>I have more experience with Rally, but the industry standard feels like Jira.
