There might be a "fixed height" setting in the display settings.

That's a good point, a lot of people are still on old Avaya or Cisco systems and it was expensive to do that. A lot of cloud providers now don't charge anything for it.

Yeah, it's a feature dubbed "queued callback". Saves your place, it's a pretty common request. Customers like Delta, Intuit, Pacific Life, Citibank, Dyson, all use the platform I build (Amazon Connect) and do stuff like that.

Problem is, no one answers a call from an unknown number these days. Some phones are getting smart enough to recognize the number and show that it's a business, though that's more anecdotal evidence from my personal device (Pixel Fold with Google Fi carrier).

I sell and build call centers for a living.

Yeah, it's fake lol. I mean maybe for some businesses it isn't fake, but usually clients would ask us to make it where "if there's more than X calls in queue, play the message". Turns out, there's always more than X calls in queue. It's not actually looking at the average.

It's kinda weird, some things are just always like that, some things clients want to add in because the average user expects it.

Someone wanted a repeat caller to get bumped to the front of the queue. Literally encouraging the "if I hang up and call back I'll get there sooner" people. Awful.

Scrolled through a ton of comments but honestly this sums it all up for me. Lemmy isn't large enough to support niche memes and content.

You should really talk to HR. If you're super duper non-confrontational, I see maybe two other options:

  • Chastise Ann for not having your back. Make her tell Ned to stop being a creep

  • Talk to Ned's boss informally and say Ned has made uncomfortable comments/advances.

I had to look this up, didn't know about Bowie. He had underage groupies, at least as young as 15 (Lori Mattix). Apparently she remembers that time fondly, but today we would rightly call it coercion and pedophilia. She was treated kindly, probably given all the drugs she "wanted", but that's still a child.

There's a counter argument about how later in life, he refused a kissing scene between him and Jennifer Connelly during Labyrinthe, and that shows he understands the age gap is wrong.

I don't regularly listen to David Bowie. I can sometimes separate the art from artist, but I'm now gonna have trouble knowing he was having sex with (raping) a 15 year old girl.
