We were having trouble with powerpoint showing updated slides. Probably just a weekend bug. Was my joke inappropriate? She’s in her 30’s; not a boomer. I said in tech, people call MS old boomer code (lol). We are not in tech. TC 100k
It’s fine. Lags sometimes.
Try not being edgy with managers especially womxn managers
Or the mxn either
Try and bang her, her reaction will tell you your answer
10/10 would recommend
It's inappropriate in any direction to call out age like that. Haven't we all had to sit through enough discrimination training to know to cut that out? This is why we keep having to sit through it. Also I find PowerPoint to be way better than keynote, etc. Issues with it usually come down to user-error.
ok boomer
Lmao
Probably did not offend her. But it’s also not funny and demonstrates a lack of business sense.
Lol why
It doesn’t matter what anyone on Blind thinks, only her opinion matters since she is the one who can report you to HR. Humor is subjective so make generational/ageist jokes at your own risk. The only tool you have to prevent these scenarios from getting out of hand is keeping your mouth shut.
We surely write better code than whatever place you’re at.
🍿 I was looking for this comment, thanks for not disappointing.
It’s nothing that bad, however making fun of the company that employs you in front of your own manager is not a very good idea in general. Most likely nothing will come of it but it’ll be something in the back of her mind specially if she was always a loyal employee - she might watch you closely to see if you are generally a slacker and not taking your work seriously.
Wait to clarify, I do not work for MS? lol.
Absolutely would not have said that if we worked for MS. Now, can you revise your feedback lol
It might make you look unprofessional.
Good not to say that stuff, agree. Got too candid.
Have you thought about going to her and asking if it was funny?? That would be a classy move on your part.
