I just know that in the seconds before I pass away the last thing I will hear is that fucking teams beep...

    Lets just put it this way, the new teams has been a gigantic pain in the ass. Par for the course I guess. I have a list of things microsoft that are just frustrating and even moreso because our team that deals with these things just stand there like they are waiting for a bus. For instance, I had onedrive showing a message for over a year and a half that it was "processing 6 files" and the activity thing would just spin. It wouldn't even say what the 6 files were. The IT support team tried the usual microsoft dance. Stop it and restart it. If that doesn't work, reboot the machine. If that doesn't work then uninstall and re-install. Then if that doesn't work shrug your shoulders and say "don't know...". It was finally solved when I got a new laptop. I the year or so it was happening, I asked if they could look at log files, and you would have thought I was describing a new alien species to them. Fuck microsoft and their proprietary bullshit they have hawked on everyone. And shame on managers for buying into this shit ecosystem.

    I am so frustrated with all the crap MSFT are doing to Outlook at the moment. WTF is the search bar in the title bar? How am I supposed to move the Outlook window around when there is a search bar taking up valuable grabable space. Also, why is there a search bar on Every.Single.Fucking.Window. I don’t need a search bar on the task I have that has 5 lines of content. Finally, why is the search bar so fucking useless. I want to search for an email from my manager, about a widget for a specific customer, so I type in the managers name, the part number for the widget and the customers name. What comes up? Either every single item involving any of these terms or nothing! And it is inconsistent. The same search either works or doesn’t work depending on some random attribute that no one can rationalise.

    And outlook, totally agree. How about this one? I have a right hand view with my calendar. Sometimes it goes away just when I minimize outlook. I have it specifically set, and wtf outlook, did you just forget it was there? I have to go back in and reset it. Sometimes when I bring outlook back up, the text is super tiny like it's some microscopic font. I have to close and reopen just for it to go back to normal. What else, how about the time on older messages? It just shows the date in the message, and it's almost impossible to just see the time of the email, which is vital information. Or how about the fact that outlook is basically spying on me, and they aren't even sneaky about it since it sends me an email with their findings on my "behavior". I don't need you to tell me how much I worked, or when I have free time. I fucking know... And here's my number one peeve about microsoft... let me start a fucking sentence with a lowercase letter!!! Why does every fucking microsoft product think that it needs to autocorrect me when I am intentionally trying to do something. I try and list commands that are case sensitive in a document or email, and it erroneously fucking capitalizes them. EVERY FUCKING TIME...

    That is some seriously scary shit, and people seem to be just fine with ignoring that it is happening. I feel like I am perceived as the crazy guy for pointing it out to people. It is crazy how the majority of people just don't give a shit about their own privacy, until it's too late.
