minus-squareXaphanos@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·2 days agoI had to fill out the number for my HR department on some paperwork. Tried to look it up. My large employer doesn’t have a phone number at all for any department - even HQ.
minus-squareiegod@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up11·2 days agoSounds about right. Last time I had an office phone at my desk was 2021.
minus-squaresnooggums@piefed.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·2 days agoI have an office phone, which is at least 10 years old at this point. One call every couple of months and it is spam.
minus-squareshalafi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·2 days agoSysadmin at my last gig, ushered in VOIP phones as I was starting in 2019. Only tech support used them, rest of us used our cell phones or Zoom. When COVID hit and we all went WFH, almost no one took their phone home. :) I thought about it, but why?
