Not sure I understand these words.

A mate of mine used to work somewhere which had “Facebook For Work” and would share the best bits with us though.

FacebookForJerk

He worked for a bank.

This seems to be the kind of thing that goes on here too.

That and someone created a ‘jokes and riddles’ group.

Sounds like a good place to talk about Booker P and the MGs

Anything that can replace the need for meetings can only be a good thing

Create an Outlook folder called “Yammer Bullshit”, create a rule that sends all Yammer Bullshit to said folder. Never look in the folder.

We used to have one at Pearson which they tried to make us use a lot, but ultimately was completely lame and didn’t work properly. The company after mine used Yammer and it sucked.

Can’t wait for this guy’s novel.

#13

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.

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.

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.
