Why does it have to be so heavy

We are using Zoom, not sure which is worst.

Honestly, what I find frustrating with Teams is that both MSN Messenger and Skype were right there. It's not even an issue of copyright or trademark as MS owns both. Even just lazily re-branding Skype would have been head-and-shoulders above what we have now.

Then again, in a world that needs developers badly everywhere, a developer that stays in a job where management forces them to maintain crappy software, is an idiot (or plain greedy). /also a developer

“I killed Clippy”?

Doesn't windows have a software repository type thing now that attempts to do the whole Linux thing?

Or maybe a developer for Excel? People seem to like Excel.

You have exactly ten minutes to get the fuck out of this post

Everything. From UI to server. Including Forms and stream. They all suck hard.

Everytime I open teams, I am greeted with "You need to login again to continue" button, which doesn't even work.

The interface is terrible and nothing works like it should. Example. So I've got a shared folder which I set up in Teams and I mount it in OneDrive. I used OneDrive to populate it, ignoring the folder called "General" because what's the fucking point of that? You can't delete the "General" folder which seemed odd. So I've been happily sending out links to documents in my file structure, not realising that my colleagues had no idea there was even a folder structure there. The reason? Fucking Teams defaults to showing the empty "General" folder so people think there's nothing there. I can't move stuff into it because it would break the links. I can't create a shortcut because they don't work in teams - it just downloads a file when you click on it. So I've created a file in "general" with the title "click on the link next to the word General above to get to the files.txt". Very professional. And don't get me started on the miserable abomination that is Outlook.

And people have the absolute fucking gall to say that open source UI is bad.

I'm so sorry for you, hope you get all the help you need.

Nothing about it is fine

They hated him because he spoke the truth.

Yeah slack is better, but teams isn't exactly bad.

I've used it here and there but my job isn't dependent on it. I have no issues with it. 🤷

It's just the hive mind of people unable to think for themselves. It works perfectly fine for organising communication and files within projects, but it's MS so everyone must hate it such is the law of these people.

Because it's bundled in their office subscriptions

Microsoft bundles all of their software in a way that makes it much more expensive to pick and choose which software you want from Microsoft and which one you would want from someone else. It's a very similar strategy to that of Adobe.

Because they needed a way to attempt to micromanage during COVID, and to do it ASAP.

Because it's essentially free and hooks into the existing MS tools for data retention, data loss prevention, security monitoring, etc.

Planner can no longer be connected to outlook and thus probably no longer to teams as well. Though I am not exactly sure a fan of any of these, connecting Planner was helpful.

Teams or the meme?
