work from office is optional at my company until 9/1, regardless of what the states do

We are doing it in stages and I won't go back at the earliest until the middle of August.  My new position is WFH like 3 days a week anyway tho.

Whatever this means.


All,

 

We are working on a return to work plan following the CDC and government guidelines. If you would like to return to the office at this time, please send me a email. Once I hear from the majority of the people working remotely, I will develop a protocol to begin the process. This is optional at this time.

 

Please do not reply to ALL and just to me with your response.

My company has a huge campus that is probably only half full when there isn’t a pandemic, so there is no way they are going to allow WFH longer than they have to.

So, my airpods are about 3 years old now and they will run from 100% to 10% in about 40 minutes now.  I blame part of this on me running them thru the washer and dryer about 2 years ago.  So, I'm going to buy some new ones.  Is there a big difference between the standard airpods and the airpod pros?

If I had any say in the matter I'd buy the shittiest quality one available

No one uses video in our meetings anyway though so that's even better

Webcams allow you to have a background in your Zoom calls. I don't have one so I just use the snap camera so I can be a potato or Joe Exotic.

Key to a fabulous home setup is a quality headset for video and audio calls. 

Happy to point someone in the right direction if they want a quality headset.

My home setup includes dual 24" Samsung displays, Microsoft LifeCam, Poly Voyager 8200 UC Headset, docking station for laptop (so gives me 3 screens total), and wireless Logitech keyboard and mouse.

This was my thought exactly. The lower the resolution the better.
