great, now do teams.

nobody should have to use that ugly useless piece of shit for anything.

My company used to have Slack and forced this abomination upon us. At least now I can plausibly pretend not to have seen people’s messages.

My company decided we don't need phones and makes us use Teams for calls. Every day I think about murdering the person who made that decision.

Same here. I made my bed with it though.

I have a "work phone". it sits at my desk. I'll answer it when I'm there, otherwise I don't get called.

I can't (pronounced won't) install any work shit on my personal phone because I run e/os and it isn't compatible with their policies. 🤷 oopsies.

fuck em. I've been giving them 4 hours a day for months now, after giving them over a decade of 15-18 hour days.
