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

    You can’t set alerts for availability. This is functionality that it used to have, but lost across updates. This is by itself is enough to relegate it to the compost bin.

    Agreed. They switched us to teams for our softphone and the caller ID doesn’t even show me the number that called half the time. I just get a generic location which is worthless to me.

    It’s the worst and has been running like total crap for years. Even Skype for business worked better. Luckily it is better than Cisco Jabber or Webex.

    I use it daily and think it’s excellent. Skype, on the other hand, is diabolical.

      I’m torn on this, because on one hand Slack is better, but I’ve ever only got the option to use the free tier with Alzheimer’s. Honestly, that’s so crippling I might rather suffer Teams with full history.

    What is crazy is that Mac version is more stable than windows in my experience. Still shit, though

    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.

    I keep a Teams tab and an Outlook tab opened in Firefox on Linux at work, and I feel like I have a better experience than most people using it on windows, which seems crazy.

    The fact that me and a coworker can’t both share our screens at the same time is absolutely batshit. 1x1 collaboration isn’t even reasonable, nevermind anything more

    Microsoft Teams isn’t all bad! For example, it bogged down my work computer so much at start up that I would basically get an extra break.

      It temporarily deletes my meetings just before they happen, so that I don’t have to attend them!

      Of course, when I open it later, the meetings are restored, with the original date, and no trace of the deletion. So not attending them is quite hard to explain to others. But it does save me from attending!

        Just do in what I do. Don’t join meetings most of the time. That way when you do it is noteworthy to the meeting stakeholder.

        Yeah sure my manglers through the years try to have ‘the talk’ but after awhile of training them via sheer apathy they shut the fuck up.

        I solve complex problems, get my tasks done, I’m independent and I stay busy because I’ll get bored. Most meetings could just be an email. There’s no real collaboration except managers or scrum masters asking what your blockers are but not actually doing anything about it. If I think the meeting will be a waste of my time I just don’t show up.
