What a pile of garbage. That we rely on teams at my org causes me endless frustration.
Why does it have to be so heavy
We are using Zoom, not sure which is worst.
The only real issue I have with zoom is how it immediately dumps you into the call with your previous settings. Sometimes (most times) I'd rather start with the microphone muted. I'm not a regular user though, just when third party meetings get kicked off.
What else could he say to not be thrown out? Dude works at Microsoft
“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.
"I worked on Space Cadet."
What's wrong with teams? I use it everyday and it's fine.
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.
That sounds like your workplaces network issue, not teams. The only time I have to relogin is after I leave the VPN'd wifi of the office building. But the button works
my org's Teams is accessible from outside the network, so I guess it's impossible
Most likely their Firefox support is horrible
Nope, that problem happens on Edge too.
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.
Nothing about it is fine
They hated him because he spoke the truth.
Yeah slack is better, but teams isn't exactly bad.
Found the NSA plant 🕵🏼♂️
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.
Chat and video calling is fine. Everything else is hot steaming garbage.
Teams is one of those things I don't understand why companies use. Just why
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.
Teams has even an internal micromanager that reports to your boss how "productive" you have been (read, how fast you are typing in Office apps).
Do you have a source on this?
His arse, probably.
Because it's essentially free and hooks into the existing MS tools for data retention, data loss prevention, security monitoring, etc.
Bloated piece of shit. Can we just use Matrix?
I used Planner in the past. Its integration with teams makes a webcam pointed at a white board a lot better.
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.
Especially the mobile app, fucking trash
I too would be wary of anyone working at Microsoft (or Oracle, or Salesforce, or SoftTech, or Tata or a bank).
tbf though, which other Microsoft project could he have said that would not have gotten himself kicked out?
Flight Simulator maybe. Age of Empires.. not sure how much they are tied into that anymore though
