That’s all.

EDIT: Thank you all for detailing your experience with, and hatred for, this miserable product. Your display of solidarity is inspiring. Now, say it with me:

Fuck Microsoft

    I mean, with winter coming in, and universities not bothering to heat the building, teams turning my potato work laptop into a furnace is the only thing keeping us warm this winter…

    Serious question - is their long term strategy bad optimisation to sell hardware? Do they have shares in intel or something?!?

    Yes. Typical MS corporate BS. Take “inspiration” from slack and zoom, make it great to steal the market, then make it worse and more expensive every once and a while.

    My company has teams and slack and IT wants to switch to all teams. The thread where they announced this had to be locked. :D I don’t know how a trillion dollar company can’t get this right. Worst yet the bundle that shit with everything and overworked IT depts pick it by default.

    Of all the Microsoft products I’m forced to use for work, teams is by far the best. It still sucks. Fuck Microsoft. Fuck monopolies.

    Fuck Microsoft. But first, Fuck Google, Fuck Amazon, Fuck Facebook. I am sure I could think of a few more that are worse than Microsoft, as bad as they are.

    I have an office account for work. I don’t happen upon the troubles people report here. I couldn’t leave MS as I basically use all their stuff for work (and so do the several other hundreds of employees here). But teams does work well: texting, videocalls with 100s of participants, recording meetings, file repositories

    I use teams every day. My only gripe recently is the messages like “look the wonderful things we did to improve it” that I didn’t need and will probably never use, but I press the little X don’t know don’t care

    I don’t mind teams for chatting or meetings but I hate sharepoint and the Teams file “structure” with a passion.

    I love how they rolled out the new upgraded Teams and it’s still awful!

    Dog shit has plenty of good things going for it, frankly. It acts as a fertilizer and really its existence just means that your best bud’s internal organs are functioning properly.

    Teams however

    While I’m not saying it’s perfect, I still think it’s aeons better than Skype was shortly after its acquisition by Microsoft.

    I don’t have any strong feelings about Teams. It just is what it is. It’s a chat app for work, like it’s just there to spy on me and keep me in contact with co-workers. It’s whatever. Of all the things I think about in the day, Teams is not one of them.
