Brings back memories, we used to have those Avaya phones.
There isn’t a desk with a phone on it in any of our offices now.
All telephony is done through Teams

There’s one phone in our work area (15 people), it rings maybe one a month at most. We’re all reluctant to answer as there’s no way to transfer the call.

Gone are the days of phone training during your induction.

Our office desks now only have a monitor screen and a power socket. Laptop gets power from usb c to monitor. You get a locker you can keep your keyboard if you chose to use one. When teams goes tits up for a couple of days, which it will, a lot of companies will lose a lot of money.

Looks plenty fast to me

That is a massive upgrade on the workspace I had when I worked in a large office in the 90s. I was forced to sit opposite the most boring cunt in the world* who slowly drove me insane with his relentless moronic patter. Eventually, I went off sick with mental health issues never to return.

*‘Hi Kenny, did you have a good weekend?’

Kenny: ‘Ah hud 12 pints on Saturday night and 10 oan Sunday.’

'89-'91 = same: big open-plan tin shed on a new “science park” writing 40K line COBOL programs, except I think I was probably one of the Kennys in that scenario.

You weren’t because you have a brain.

I’m a proper boring cunt IRL. “Coyote Boring” I see people glaze-over and it’s a red rag to a bull… :wink:
