I’ll take some cleaning house vs 0 cleaning house.
This is like dusting the china cabinet while ignoring a giant hole in the wall from someone crashing their car through it.
How much can it cost, Michael?
Your post prompted me to check – at the “fancy” grocery store in town, I can get a dozen eggs for about $5. Same price at Aldi. Looking at Target, it’s about $4.20.
Wait, what? I usually expect Target to be more expensive than other options in the area! Strange times.
I doubt it, but ok
I’m not sure I’d count Frankenstein, tbh. I think it’s more horror than sci-fi.

I don’t think this is new; The Sleeping Dragon by Joel Rosenberg was published in 1983 where players in a tabletop RPG get whooshed into the game world at the beginning of the book. Fun series.
Do you think what is right and what is wrong is universally agreed-upon? I don’t think it’s as clear-cut as you’re trying to make it sound.
I don’t have this issue in any other apps, so yes, def a Teams thing.
What OS are you using? AFAIK there’s no way to pin the separate Teams windows to the Dock in osx.
Yes, it’s a different window.
The issue is that it’s not the first window that Teams selects when I click on it.
Blame it on the macbook if you like, but IMO Teams is at fault.
Wait, have you never heard any of the Boomer jokes about “women drivers”?
I thought their meaning was obvious. In the places you’ve paid any attention to the sex of the taxi drivers, any would-be female taxi drivers have been deterred or driven out of the job by too much harassment.
Current pet peeve: I’m in a meeting, and I click to switch to another app to check something, then I click the Teams icon to switch back to Teams. Clearly, in this case, I want to get back to the meeting.
Instead, it shows me the calendar view. WTF, Microsoft?
New Zealand. Beautiful place, and the coffee, OMFG, they really know their coffee there!

I can’t help but read this as “forty-ies” instead of “forties” 😂
I think I see where you’re coming from. I don’t hear grifters in that phrase, personally. I’d almost say the opposite; workaholics are more likely to invoke the phrase. Or, to put it another way, victims of upper management gaslighting.
working hard is not a virtue
I have to disagree here. Well, probably. I figure, if you’re not lazy/half-assing your job, you’re pretty much working hard, right? I see it as being diligent about your job, and yes, I do see some virtue in that.
But you also wrote “indicator of poor management” which makes me think you’re using “working hard” as a label for something like “unpaid overtime”. That would be a whole different ballgame.
I don’t think this post is a good fit. The name of the community is “mildly infuriating”, not “absolutely enraging”!
I knew a girl in high school who would say “Don’t do anything I would do.”
I guess I am. Reading is reading. Listening is listening. I’m not a fan of “reading means reading or listening, depending on whether the thing you’re listening to is labeled ‘audiobook’”.
Communication is easier when we agree on what the words actually mean.
