== Requesting company HR to share contact details of my previous colleagues ===

I am John,former colleague of David, who is working as Project Manager in your organization, had been associated with him during our previous job role with HP, Florida.
I would need to reach him for some personal purpose.

Kindly advice  ..

In a web application, I have a field in a table that contains the following (scrubbed):

You can mouse over STATUS to display a popup that shows "Approved", "Deferred" etc.

But, what do you call STATUS. It's not a link, and not sure if it should be called an icon. But, if "Icon" is appropriate, I'll run with it. Thanks.

It has been long time since I left the organisation. I must say experience with ABC had been wonderful, and its transparent HR process.
Still I miss the annual gatherring parties.Hope such parties still ABC keeping alive.

regarding reference letters I requested for my PR...
you might have provided such reference letters so far, for many PR aspirants. I didn't exactly get the reason for the delay getting requested letter.
If the reason for my employment,  my experience letters sent you in earlier communication, hope that will give you enough details.

I am sure, you will help me getting the required documents in this regard, also wishes me to succeed.

Hi,

My application contains a number of gray circles with a line though it e.g.
But it's rather faint, and would be hard to read on an instruction set if I took a screenshot.

There must be instances of this symbol in a darker gray than I have here, but I'm not having any luck Googling it (e.g. gray circle with line through it)

Where can I find a suitable example? Or maybe I just need a better search term for this symbol?

Thanks.

Hello,

We have a shared document on docs.google.com. It's owned by a manager (call him Joe) who shared the doc with me.

When I make changes, it appears that Joe receives an email notification. (He mentioned it happened when I resolved a comment, and I suspect it would occur for other changes as well.)

However, when Joe makes a change (add a comment, add a line of text), I do not receive any emails.

On drive.google.com, I checked Settings --> Notifications, and saw the following, indicating I expect to receive emails.

Could it be:

• Should I be looking at options within docs.google.com instead of drive.google.com? If so, please advise how I can find these options.
• Is the document owner the only person who receives notifications?
• Something else?

Thanks,
Steve

Hello,

Since I'm not familiar with the MAC, (in fact, I don't have access to one) I have not encountered this syntax before.

In a set of Release Notes, I need to document a feature involving the MAC key combination COMMAND and Click.  Two questions:

1. What's the preferred syntax here?

<Command>-<Click>
<Cmd>-<Click>
Something else?

2. What's the correct verb? Press? Perform? Do? e.g.
Press <Command>-<Click>


Thanks,
Steve

Hello,

To indicate an optional plural, I would write:

Select the checkbox(es) next to the item(s)

But, how about for a word such as "category".

Do I write:

Select the checkbox(es) next to the category(s)

(or)
Select the checkbox(es) next to the categor(ies)

While I suppose this sentence could be rewritten, all I"m looking for is the specific issue of (s) vs (ies).

Thank(s) :)
