i miss the good ol' days when conflicts were resolved by the REAL going offline, it's a little thing called "turning off the computer, standing up from your desk, and having your avatars leave your body to do mortal combat on the astral plane" super relatable content as always, and came just in time, turns out i forgot to accept my own calendar invite to sleep tonight, close call! would've had to sync up with my past self and that always ends poorly, the bastard

My favorite is when you agree to sync up about some disagreement offline and then the meeting ends and you both chicken out and never actually contact each other.
This video was a real value add to my life. My door is always for more Krazam content. I'm tabling my tasks for tonight to familiarize myself with previous Krazam videos.
I've watched this like 20 times, its fucking perfect. From the google meet blur background style, to the gremlin laugh at the end. And every slide in the background showing the corporative bullshit that agile is LMAO.
@@yurisich He took Roger offline so hard that Roger had to deactivate Slack out of fear of getting asked to go offline again. Roger left the industry in the process.
I have goosebumps when I hear this stuff, my family was not great and I seldom talk or visit them. Also kicker: "family owned company" or "family company" - it's like hell where personal relationships take over competence.
I didn't notice this at first, but this is one of the things why KRAZAM is so good at their stuff and why I keep watching their vids over and over again.
It's because, deep down, they all know it's a bunch of time-wasting bullshit. I can't wait to see corporate speak vaporized once the older generation that buys into this crap finally retires.
Can you touch base with the stakeholders to gain consensus for amending the list of deliverables? We need to complete all of the user stories in Q1 to maximize our KPI so that they don’t fun-size our department.
I feel like these videos always give me a lot of insight into myself. Lots of value add, this will definitely be going into the peer feedback thanks Krazam
Yes!!! New content! You basically have a monopoly on this niche genre of comedy, Krazam. Not saying you should compromise quality for quantity... but I would love to see more 'cause there is barely anything like this elsewhere.
Reminds me whenever two PMs take a conversation offline, then point us to an outdated doc where they believe they updated it with the vital changes but never did.
1:36 😂 "remember Roger? I took him offline so hard, he left the industry" hes laughing 😃 becouse that's exactly what he's gonna do😅 and now his manager is concerned😮.
I kept pinging everyone including the CEO on objectives we could be accomplishing, and the director of product took me to lunch one day and tried to tell me to keep it offline. at the time, I didn't really understand he was telling me to stfu so i just kept doing it. Eventually I was offered a fully remote position with a large raise (before the pandemic) and no one asked me to actually do anything once I was remote.
... why didn't they just fire you? You mean they would have preferred to give you way more money for you not to bother people than just get rid of you entirely for being annoying? how does that work?? What is the logic?
there's a lot of reasons, which took me forever to understand, but one is that funded SF tech companies operate free of actual capitalism, so for instance, dept heads are competing for head count and perceived scope with no regard to anything else, so rarely anyone gets fired. at least until they run out of money. they assigned me to a new team in the same dept that basically didn't need me
@@delusionalmystic That is absolutely spot on. There are entire orgs in my company that exist purely to bullshit execs about whatever the new gimmick is before failing and moving on to the next project. Currently it's AR/VR and big data AI stuff.
I lost count of how many times I watched this. I would love to have the balls to do this on MS Teams meetings when my PO asks me to take shit off line.
I appreciate the touch at around 1:45 where the synths sound like Steroids by Death Grips and you emulate the cackle on that part of the track. One of my favorite albums/vinyls I own (if I read that correctly and it's intentional)
I think I have watched this video literally 50 times. It's so damn hilarious. Its like every middle manager meme that is trending in tech/product companies right now. Fucking comedy gold.
I think he intentionally made the audio and video quality kind of shitty like MS teams. The imperfect virtual backgrounds, the echoey empty room sound, the static noise when someone talks. That’s great
I started a new job, from a 10 person IT startup where it’s just build build build to a IT MNC where it’s processes and meetings and if there’s time then build. I never thought I’d need this Chanel for relatable comedic relief . Laughing through ‘s’pain right now. A product person here.
oh my God, this literally happened to me one month ago when i was thrown under the bus in a team meeting (for no fault of my own). i spoke up for myself, and when i did, i was told 'this is an OFFLINE conversation'. and, i pretty much reacted like this dude, lol.
I worked at a place once where people said things like "let's take this offline" in a totally serious adult voice. Everyone who was good at doing anything left that company, except for the guys who are counting the years to retirement.

At this rate, in three years they’ll have a video called “Soirée for CEOs”

The more I've worked the more I've come to understand Krazam videos. It's terrifying and hilarious at the same time.
For real though.
This is such a funny comment because it's so true
A lot like Dilbert, but funny
In reality it's deeply sad and an omen of the collapse of our civilization.
Holy crap, you use the same squirrel avatar that I use for myself on my work's Jira board! I see you are a fellow man of culture.

"Well yes but we realized there is no April 31st so we pushed it back to the next month that had 31 days."
"Oh okay."
ISO date systems? clearly you havent worked with the omegastar team.

this channel is the most relatable content on the internet. throw some time on my calender if you have any questions.
Right? So much corporate drama...
That "tsk nah" sent me. These guys are the best
"They'll ping you right back!"
The blurred image of the google calendar absolutely SLATHERED with meetings got me dying the first time.

I didn't notice this at first, but this is one of the things why KRAZAM is so good at their stuff and why I keep watching their vids over and over again.
Why don’t you find an empty slot on my calendar, huh? Find an empty slot, throw some time on there
This video captures the absolute weirdness of millennials and zoomers inheriting the bureaucratic systems created by baby boomers

I pray every week that Krazam will be in my Monday morning sync-ups.
Honestly, it's a good thing it got pushed back a month, because releasing the feature on a nonexistent date is sure to introduce bugs.

This was so good! Inviting my friends over for a retro on this
Don't forget to send the meeting minutes afterwards please
make sure everyone has bandwidth and is in the same timezone .. wait can galactus now fetch time in ISO format ?
Make sure to ask for permission before recording the meeting! 🙏🏻
Dude this channel hits the spot. The "take it offline" is indeed a trigger. damn haha

Well it means "shut up," so yes
@@sauercrowder We should take this offline

Same here 🤣😂🤣😂
2 years later, still one of my favourite videos on the internet
Krazam has the best work related content of all time. Please make more videos I can't get enough of this.
The day that "Taking it offline" became a new euphemism that everyone in tech is now going to use daily. Meetings will never be the same!
Quite frankly, a banger

@@Thomasfrank my my, what a surprise
This was the meeting after the PM learned about Omega Star not being able to support UTC timestamps.

Turning on CCs for 1:28 and it pops up with [Corporate Jutsu] ... there is no limit of small details that make this video perfect
[Tactical throat clearing] as well 😂
Yes!!! New content! You basically have a monopoly on this niche genre of comedy, Krazam. Not saying you should compromise quality for quantity... but I would love to see more 'cause there is barely anything like this elsewhere.
But here is the problem, right? What should be the KPI when you achieve hypergrowth?
came here to say this
They could produce content so much faster if they just pivoted to scrum
"Krazam" sounds like some sort of project management methodology 😂😂😂
LOL the sync up for 4/31, a day that doesn't even exist...classic Q5 deliverable!
The "nahhhhh" at the beginning is the best part
This is just so raw and beautiful on every level. Excellent script and delivery! Thank you KRAZAM
These videos are too damn real. Tuckman phases and the color overlapping Google calendar in the background made me crack up uncontrollably
KRAZAM THE MAN he's back ladies and gentlemen. Hold on to your scrum boards because HERE. WE. GOOOO
"Put some time in my calendar" whilst his outlook has more blocks than a Lego house hahaha.
