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.
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
If the search function actually worked it could be passable.
While I'm not saying it's perfect, I still think it's aeons better than Skype was shortly after its acquisition by Microsoft.
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"
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.
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!
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?
Can confirm. The UI alone is atrocious.
I'm sick of notifications not coming through on Teams. Fucking piece of shit program.
I'm sick of imaginary notifications coming through and making my taskbar flash, only to open it up and NOTHING IS THERE.
