Can’t wait for this guy’s novel.

Agreed… but it’s not used for that in this case.

This just reminds me that I thought I was going to be fired in a job so I set a rule in Outlook to send everything into Deleted Items apart from my payslip. That was in May. Wasn’t fired and didn’t leave until December. I had a few very relaxing months of employment there.

I’m on Yammerbook. It’s shite. We all hate it.

After months of this shit I finally gave in and logged onto our Yammer. Then I went to Settings, switched off all the alerts and have been blissfully Yammer free ever since.

I was amused to find out that one member of our team has been busily posting “interesting” articles about our business up there. All by himself.

Did some work for a company with an internal forum thing a while ago. Business updates, IT announcements and that sort of thing usually got about 1 reply. The celebrity spotting thread had around 700 (most of which seemed to be of Phil from Location Location Location).

As in he was the most spotted celebrity. I didn’t work on Location Location Location.

can’t imagine anything worse tbh. still don’t really understand what linkedin is and feel quite bad about having an account on there.

There was a workshop on how to get the most out of linkedin held here recently, and people charging you to get a professional mug-shot for your linkedin profile pic.

I can kind of see how it might be useful for networking, but from my admittedly very limited experience of it, it seems to be more like a facebook for salespeople.

do quite enjoy this account:

yeah it has a very salesy vibe innit. i’d heard it was good for jobs and “networking” but have never experienced either from it.

is it Chatter?

:rofl:

Can’t think of a better example of a non-job. Taking questions from a shitposter in Sidcup seriously for 9 hrs a day. Fuck off.
I read the thread.

Probably similar. It’s called Yammer - which is a daft name in itself - I think it’s a Microsoft out of the box thing. Chatter sounds like it’d be along the same lines.

His book will be 9,000x better if he leaves the name discrepancies in

We use google plus. It can be useful/interesting so i do actually look at it, but my manager keeps forwarding notifications of posts from there too so i basically get everything twice

What the fuck are any of you on about?
