this is a corpo reminder to ask your coworkers "when are you available for a call about x"

give all information and context possible

do not say "hi" and then immediately call when you get a reply

also if you are scheduling calls do not schedule them the second after or before lunch

also not everything needs a call !

give people time to reset FFS

Also, just Teams me the question and I will answer it and move on. I really do not want to talk.

sadly managers do not take this answer, I've tried many times and I've been upfront

I found it more productive to let them know etiquette for calling, random cold calls are extremely annoying, disrupts my work, resets my context by switching to a new one. Not only that but I don't have your answers now so why do you call now and expect answers to questions I have zero context of ?

Welcome to General Memes

Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CruelWe’re here for laughs, not fights.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults

Rule 2: No Forbidden FormatsNot every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.

Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you
