howiecohenI just got an email I'm cc'd on as part of a reply-all thread, and the analyst sending it "copied Temba on this email."
I'm just on cc as an FYI for this issue. I do not need to respond. But I *NEED* to respond.
Um. Y'all. Y'ALL. I have a morning meeting with Temba tomorrow on Teams. Howie and Temba in the windows. Howie, his lip bitten, his willpower weak. Temba, his humor unknown. HR, when the email arrives. Shaka, when the walls fell! #StarTrekTNG #Darmok #Tamarian
Okay, he stayed off camera for the meeting but it displayed his MS Office profile photo in the Teams window. A full body pic of him in a suit, arms curved, hands on his hips. TEMBA, HIS ARMS WIDE!
Just Plain Simple BridgeMakes⚪@howiecohen stay strong brother.
The California class in the cerritos hour of need. 💪
@Bridgemakes I feel like it's somewhat inevitable that by this time tomorrow I'm posting my gofundme to pay bills after I'm let go.
Mike (no not that one)@howiecohen @Bridgemakes Okay. But like. There's got to be a justifiable excuse for saying something, right? There's no way he hasn't heard it before, right? Right?
@mikey @Bridgemakes We'll be discussing pricing strategies. Maybe I'll slip in "we don't want to end up like Wendy's with the whole internet mad at them. Metaphor!"
@howiecohen @mikey if it helps write down all the bits you want to do in the meeting as if your taking notes and then deliver them unto us as a sacrificial offering to purge the soul of bits.
@Bridgemakes @howiecohen Solid plan just bottle them all up and dump them all out here when you're done.
....but if you can slide a subtle one in without risk to employment... You know...
@mikey @Bridgemakes I might just bring back my Entrepeneur-D BridgeTeams background image too before we start just to see if there's any glimmer of recognition...Sokath, his eyes uncovered!
