Anyone that likes Teams is objectively a bad person.

i like teams because you can start a meeting with just yourself in it, then set your status to active manually and it never goes to "away" and your computer never goes to sleep

I have to wonder if it's that way on purpose, put in by some Microsoft employee who wanted to slack off at work. Because there was one update where that stopped working, and I figured they found out the exploit and patched it, but then it came back on the next patch

power-genius Thank you, might try this if my current method gets noticed.

The low tech version of this is placing a metal spoon on the trackpad. Always green.

Teams may suck but it’s a lot better than Skype which used to be the standard

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago

yeah skype for business was soooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad

I had someone message me on teams "Hi Abracadaniel" then just waited for me to stop what I was doing & respond before sending their actual message.

Definitely ignoring that shit in the future.

This is just someone allowing for social contact instead of productivity driven messages. Seems ok to me.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I appreciate the sentiment but in context it felt more like an interruption of focus paired with an expectation that I respect that interruption and respond immediately.

Wait until end of day and then reply... Hi.

~~eat my ass, hole and hair~~

~~Gnarly but fair.~~

Agreed tho, the explosion of sketchy skype and discord clones.. and businesses' enthusiasm towards them.. is just undignified.

(edited to a sincerepost because I smoked weed and can't shake the feeling my earlier post's tone is ambiguously creepy sounding. apologies, comrade(s)! not gonna delete it tho I wasn't being that awkward)

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago

I don't know a single slack or discord clone that is sketchier than slack or discord, and especially don't know one sketchier than msteams.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago (1 children)

teams is the tool of the devil.

Not because it is particularly badly made, but simply bc my boss can reach me on it

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago

hot hot take but slack and discord are equally bad

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Holy fuck hate teams. It's called email if you wanted to say something to me, it doesn't need to be a public social thing stored in the damed cloud ready to be hacked. The whole Microsoft 365 project is a massive risk to any organization on board with it. It all runs sloooooow AF too.

It is one of the bulkiest pieces of ineffective Frankenstein apps I've ever had the displeasure of using. Oh you don't like it? Well here's a Microsoft Live! ID. Oh you need to "login" to this website function now instead of just visiting it for information. Oh your username is the same as someone half way across the world in Denmark. So you have to type it the long way with your org and then enter a password.

Just want to bash my head at this shit live virus malware service corporate shit.

honk-enraged STOP TRYING TO MAKE ME "SOCIAL" AT MY SOLITARY JOB!

There was a point at my company where I was expected to monitor Skype, Teams, and Slack all at once. And then my team also had an unsanctioned Discord that we used for day to day shit.

if i came in for my first day of work and learned there were 3 and a half chat programs to pay attention to i would walk out and you'd never hear from me again

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Microsoft-internal people have like 16 of them or some insane number.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Now see, that's getting to the point where you can slack off and just pretend never to have seen the messages. "What? A new project? Sorry, I think that app must have glitched or something."

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

i’m currently trying to reactivate an old work account, being sent back-and-forth between teams and authenticator, phone call verification always fails the first time and i apparently need authenticator to log into authenticator, then it tells me i must delete the old account and re-add it and when i finally got in another pop-up telling me to re-install i can’t close.

i couldn’t even program such a dumpster fire if i tried.

Teams for short messages, email for long messages. It's better than being in the office, absolutely

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

At least it's not HipChat.
