Some company wants to do a phone interview with me using Skype for Business. They even sent me the Skype link for it. I was under the impression business Skype does not work on personal accounts. Of course I’m not gonna use my work laptop and business Skype for an interview if that’s what they hope...Read more
Has anyone found out yet if they were being laid off? How is it being done? e.g. Slack, email, webex, skype?
For example, Intel uses Skype/Outlook for messaging/emails/contacts, and Office suite for docs/spreadsheets/presentations. What do companies like Apple/Google/Facebook use? Slack?? iMessage??

Any of your onsite interviews got switched to skype interview due to the preventive measures that the companies are taking now. I have been getting emails from my current company to avoid travel until if it's an emergency.
This is really towards the daily spam of emails from "recruiters" that send me job postings for a job that clearly shows they never even glanced at my resume. And please stop asking for my Skype ID.
Hi all, I had an on-site interview with mathworks yesterday. And today I got a email from the recruiter saying next steps and asking me to schedule a Skype interview. I am not sure will they be confirming me the offer tommorow or it's just a general hr call, since I didn't have time during the on-si...Read more
Good article on another Microsoft failure. Internet Explorer had 95% market share in 2001. Now, it’s less than 5%. Skype isn’t the only high-flying product that Microsoft has fumbled. Two decades ago, Internet Explorer, its web browser, was so dominant and popular that it drew the attention of fed...Read more

To begin with, The talent management system at Deloitte India is pathetic. The HR team always seemed to be in a "It is we who gave you the job, Hence we rule over you" mentality. They do not respond to tech guys, be it in Skype, Teams, or via Email. They don't care. The problem is even interns fresh...Read more
I might be older than the person who complained about the lack of amazement at current innovations. But thankfully, I still get excited about the latest innovations just like in the old days.

Just wanted to let you guys know that there are people impersonating Asana employees and trying to scam people who are looking for a job.

Some time ago, I could not login to my Skype, saying that account was blocked for "serious violation of the Microsoft Services Agreement". Ok, I know what you may think and no - I did not do anything illegal from what I can tell. I did not share any content, harassed anyone or anything like that. I...Read more
