Why do I receive 20-30 emails every day from coworkers and other internal Microsoft groups? 100% of these emails are a waste of my time to read
I had enough of this, so I set up Outlook on Monday to auto reply saying I do not want to be bothered or have the time, desire or motivation to help with your problem you emailed me about. So, stop emailing me and find someone else. I also have... — read more
No Buyout For SALES
they didn’t extend the offer to Sales because of Q4. They don’t want to distract the team from closing the quarter and FY26. We’ll see if that’s true if they expand it to Sales roles in FY27.

Patching bug after bug after bug…
