I’ve a couple of colleagues who could use their Outlook/Teams pictures easily for onlyFans or things like that.

Someone has a wedding photo as their profile pic but it’s a full body shot so there’s no way of knowing what they actually look like.
At my old company I used a photo of me when I was 5 on my directory entry because one awful manager tried to force us all to have our photos taken by her with her phone. A load of other people followed suit until someone put up an actual baby photo then HR stepped in and decreed that all photos had to be recent. #sorrynotsorry
We ask new staff members to supply a photo for their pass before they arrive on the first day. The women all send photos where they look like supermodels and the men send mug shots where they look like serial killers

Yesterday, I was laughing at your predicament.
Today, I was told that I should have booked my desk via the online desk reserving system so it's my own fault.
I don't go. I don't really want to socialise with any of them!Team nights out. Urgh.
Twice a year we have to have them to 'bond'.
New rules now that we have to do an 'activity' and not just go out for food/drink.
I really can't be arsed. A meal is OK, I live quite away from the office so normally eat the go while everyone else carries on. With now having to do an a activity, I think my babysitter is busy(single mum).
Surely you can’t be forced out for an evening event? I kinda get the daytime ones where unless you book annual leave you just have to suck it up but not a mandatory evening one. I’d refuse personally, I resent having to be there 9-5!
Re: photos, I work with someone whose Teams photo is a pic of them in bed and another whose picture is just of their top half and they're wearing a negligee sort of thing. No I don't work for Ann Summers
*update*
The headsets aren't too bad. You have to push a button to talk into them and they can't hear everything. I am relieved trouble is now though people are refusing them it isn't going to work of everyone isn't wearing it so it seems another pointless gimmick

Do people have any corporate Zoom etiquette these days?
I had a call today where one of 4 attendees was clearly laying on their bed (couldn’t see the mattress obviously but the bed frame was in your face behind their head). SMH. At least, blur your background or put a background image if you’re gonna do that lol
I sometimes take calls from my couch if my back is hurting or something but I always make sure to hide the background.

Don't you hate it when the boss of the Managing Director actually has to do work, and then messes it up so badly that most of the team have to get involved.
When sending documents to clients, make sure they are they right ones - should almost be a given right?! He has sent some documents to a client at the start of April and then washed his hands of it all. Not told anyone, clients chasing payment of the policy and documents have never been received back - they have been lost in the post. No diary date to chase after 10 days, nothing. 'Urgh I didn't realise'. He has sent the documents again, the administrator who would normally deal with this 'You don't need these documents - by the way they are the wrong ones anyway - this can be done over the telephone'
Still no diary date or anything to chase in case they happen to get lost in the post, no documents saved in the client folder so no paper trail. I've emailed and spoken directly to them to say anything sent to the client needs to be saved. Still nothing and I want to smash my head against the window now.
He's back to doing f-all and watching videos and has done his work for the day.

you just described me eating a bag crisps - wouldn't do it at work though! And only the best, Walkers, for meMy colleague who is always taking sick leave has at last been asked to leave and hasn't had her contract renewed. I should be celebrating but am damn sure that all her work will now get piled on to me because they're not going to replace her 
She returned today from a two week holiday and I was surprised to see her because I was convinced she'd pull a sickie until her leaving date. Low and behold 2 hours after coming back a family emergency has called her away again
it's absolutely ridiculous. I just laugh at her excuse emails now.
I'm glad that I won't have to put up with her for too much longer but am getting concerned about the fact that I will now be expected to do everything on a permanent basis

One of my colleagues is a nice person but my god does she love a bit of passive-aggression.
I have a day’s holiday booked tomorrow which has been in my calendar for weeks, but another colleague suddenly announced yesterday he was also taking Friday off which means she will be alone. This is not a big deal, for one thing it’s the Friday before a bank holiday so our enquiries will be quiet and it’s not like we have to answer them instantly anyway. But she sighed ‘oh well, I suppose I’ll be alone again’.
Jesus, woman, you did your job alone for two years before I was recruited, have a word with yourself!

I’d love to be alone in work for just one day! She should try and enjoy it!
Today, I was basically told to shut up
I work in a field where in order to do your work, you have to ask questions to your clients to get some info. It’s a given and clients should expect it.
Thus far, we’ve only asked two questions. I had a couple more questions (3/4) as I kept working on this piece of work and raised them to my project lead. Their response was ‘I don’t understand why we have so many. I hope the clients won’t think we’re overbearing’.
Overbearing for trying to do my job? Then if people don’t ask questions, they’re told by higher ups why they don’t have any. I’m a very autonomous person by nature but I ask questions when needed - I’m therefore assuming this project lead has never worked with anyone who asks any questions. Honestly, it’s made me feel quite self-conscious and made me question my confidence for a minute.

Out of curiosity (as I'm also a person who asks far too many questions of people who would far rather have their overconfidence interpreted as expertise...it's not. However much they insist that they know x when the truth is y), if any of you had applied for a bog standard, basement dwelling minion position in a huge organisation for an easier life - what is the likelihood of your interview panel consisting of three major league directors in areas you also admittedly have considerable related experience in but aren't required to for the role advertised?
I can't quite see why they would be troubling themselves with such an insignificant little role/person when it won't affect their roles or functions one bit. Especially as the gap between application and interview has been over two months when the usual turnaround is about a fortnight.
(Yes, I'm deeply suspicious here.)
