I work at... Linux?

[-] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 24 points 3 days ago

Don't blame the dev, it's all management's fault.

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 32 points 3 days ago

Nah, Teams is total shit.

I forget what it replaced, but it was basically AIM. 90s as hell, nothing ever happened unless you explicitly made it, and virtually never any connection issues.

Teams insisting on being tied to Outlook and then "breaking" each other constantly is not worth the limited functionality.

I can set a busy message on my own.

[-] nickhammes@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

Legitimately, if AOL resurrected AIM as an internal messenger for companies, with no changes other than to make sure it runs on modern systems, it would be an improvement on Teams.

[-] truthfultemporarily@feddit.org 9 points 3 days ago

IRC.

[-] Photuris@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 days ago

Fuck yes. If my company would allow it, I’d insist my team communicate on an internal IRC server.

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I ran an internal OpenFire VM for internal chat. Flawless.

[-] BCsven@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

Skype

[-] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

It replaced Skype (for business).

[-] themoonisacheese@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago

At some point during Skype for business end of life, both teams and sfb were operating on the same protocol and that explains a lot of the weird design of teams

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 0 points 3 days ago

Skype was terrible, though.

[-] bus_factor@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

And I bet those design decisions were made by management, not the developers.

Working on corporate tech as a developer means constantly making things you as a developer and/or user know is going to be shit, but the suits don't listen to reason.

Yeah I think castle doctrine gives you the right to kill him on the spot

[-] weariedfae@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

Hot take: Teams is fine. Better than Slack or Zoom.

[-] kunaltyagi@programming.dev 4 points 2 days ago

For text communication, teams sucks. Channels and groups are weirdly different. Channel and normal meetings are weirdly different. search is f'ed up....

Zoom: yeah that's worse for text communication

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

Not much of a hot take

It isn't perfect but it is decent especially in the last few years

[-] optissima@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

And lose the chance to blackmail them into improving the program? Shortsighted.

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

Which Teams? There are 4 different versions I think.

[-] floral_toxicity@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

Or Sharepoint.

[-] Gaja0@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago

It's so much harder to search for files in a company wide network drive without folder management.

[-] BCsven@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

There is a better software for that. Teamcenter PLM. Centralized database, each user can organize the data into their own "folders" if they like, but you find data by its meta data, and checkout and revisioning is controlled properly

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 3 days ago

That's letting a war criminal off easy. I'd string him up.

[-] pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 days ago

as an estonian, he's dead

[-] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

Yeah but Legal Sharks
