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

Yeah... yeah... Atleast before I could use Ublock on Edge amd use the web browser for sharepoint/teams/etc.

Yes. Typical MS corporate BS. Take "inspiration" from slack and zoom, make it great to steal the market, then make it worse and more expensive every once and a while.

I don't mind teams for chatting or meetings but I hate sharepoint and the Teams file "structure" with a passion.

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

haha file structure - it's going the Apple way of just chuck it in and then search for what you want rather than being a grown-up and keeping things organised and tidy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

If the search function actually worked it could be passable.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Can confirm. The UI alone is atrocious.

Am I the only one that like Teams?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Seems to work fine for me. Shrug.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

No no. There are 2 other people who agree with you

I'm sick of notifications not coming through on Teams. Fucking piece of shit program.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

I'm sick of imaginary notifications coming through and making my taskbar flash, only to open it up and NOTHING IS THERE.

While I'm not saying it's perfect, I still think it's aeons better than Skype was shortly after its acquisition by Microsoft.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I find it's a bit of a toss-up. Teams does manage to fix/improve on many things that Skype did, but it also screws up in new and infuriating ways.

MS's modus operandi seems to be "bundle and make just good enough that corps will stay in our ecosphere and not going to buy into a competing product"

If teams was just teams and didn't have all this cross integration bullshit with OneDrive/SharePoint and Todo and viva I wouldn't mind it.

But no, it has to be part of the ecosystem 🤮

Why do they want IT admins to be useless?

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

I don't have any strong feelings about Teams. It just is what it is. It's a chat app for work, like it's just there to spy on me and keep me in contact with co-workers. It's whatever. Of all the things I think about in the day, Teams is not one of them.

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

If it was used strictly as a chat app it still couldn’t hold water to AIM. I’ve got colleagues who insist on storing files there and if you couldn’t imagine SharePoint being any worse try using it in the Teams interface. Microsoft is too big for their own good. Instead of doing 1 thing amazingly, they do 1000 things shittily

But colored folders!
