        But it’s also nice to don’t have to be glued to your desk in case they’re trying to reach you

          They can reach me in another way if it’s important, or just wait a damn minute till I get back. The day my boss called me over and over while I was on the crapper (thinking I was ignoring him ???) was the end of that app on my phone.

    Look, slack is 1000% better than Teams will ever be. But, Slack is also enshittifying themselves, eg. with their 3-month event horizon.

    Anything Slack can do, Mattermost does – and Mattermost is free, open source, and self-hostable.

    This is my hill.

    The worst thing is when someone uses @here in a slack channel where lots of people are, where the message is not even relevant to most of them Just useless distraction

    I just love when I get a meeting update in my Outlook and Teams says “new notification!” but it’s the same notification as Outlook that I’ve already cleared, but then my phone buzzes because Teams is shouting “There is new activity!” but it’s not new activity, it’s the same notification I’ve already cleared on both Outlook and Teams on my laptop

      There is a Teams setting to disable calendar notifications. I did this for the exact reason you just described

      There’s a setting on the phone app to block notifications when you’re active on the desktop. It works well for me.

      I don’t think that I get meeting notifications on my teams on desktop either so they just come up in outlook.

    I hate teams. We use it for work and everyone just haaaates it. OAuth half the time doesn’t work, so we have to go to the browser.

    Windows updates have broken it and it wont open as an app a couple of times. It takes up an obscene amount of CPU just sitting there being an electron app. My work windows box has about 2x the specs of my laptop and my laptop runs sooo much faster than windows/teams bs. Windows 11 is going to use react on the start bar…and I cant imagine what this is going to look like with teams on top. I wish we got linux/*NIX machines to work with like my last job.

      Tbf, we have experienced none of that - that sounds like your IT might have some things misconfigured…

      Biggest pain in the ass is having to resign in to Outlook, Teams, and Office when the password reset timer is hit :/

        Probably.

        But teams has messed up in another work place before as well. The October update in 2023 borked the entire office at a completely different workplace. Fun times.

    I actually would prefer to be contacted on teams instead of email…

    I’m copied on EVERYTHING, my inbox is utterly useless

      Yeah I’ve effectively given up on email at this point. Just Teams me. And don’t say “hey”. Say what the fuck you want.

        I believe this is the same people that will respond “not now, I’m in a meeting”. I know you’re in a meeting. It’s called asynchronous communication. I can message you whenever I want, and you can read and reply whenever you want. The messages won’t go away.

        Or even worse “I have not arrived at the office yet”. Then don’t fucking read teams.

            Completely missed my point.

            Asynchronous communication means that I send you a message whenever I want and you respond whenever you want.

            If I wanted to talk in the moment I would walk to your office or call you.

            Messaging makes no sense if I have to remember every message I want to send and send them when the receiver is available. That’s not how it works.

            It’s the receiver’s responsibility to read that message when they have to.

        There are people in my org that always start with a “Hi” and then send each sentence as a new message. Very irritating.

          They’ll always wait for me to respond before telling me whatever issue they’re having….Just out with it in the first message.

    Noooo, I could’ve used this during my Last Week of Fun! Our boss REALLY loved inane, smart-sounding quotes, I wonder if he would have figured this one out.
