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

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.

If a company uses other Microsoft products, chance are that Teams is bundled with whatever license they have. So for IT, it's one less service to manage.

That is the actual reason this happens. Another one is financial people trying to cut costs or something. Slack licensing is not a small cost if you have lots of people.

However it should be said that IT and finance are supposed to support the company, not the other way around. If they're choosing shit services they should be replaced with people who actually support the company.
