The company that made its name on remote working is now stopping many of its workers from being fully remote.

    A company that builds tools for remote working, doesn’t believe in remote working? That doesn’t seem a great look.

    This terrifies me. If I am forced to return to the office to do the same thing I do very, very well at home, my entire life will significantly change for the worse. It’s not fair that a few deuschbags cab ruin someone else’s life so easily and carelessly.

      Microsoft is trying aggressively to destroy both Zoom and Slack by pushing Teams as “free” (i.e. “Look, it’s already included in your Office 365 plan!”).

      Teams video is… fine (other than the awful UX) which is a death knell for Zoom… but for everything else it is HORRIBLE. As a communication and collaboration platform, Teams is productivity and efficiency cyanide. It is just so badly designed and organized. It’s a mess.

      But companies will switch anyway, because it’s “cheaper”… consequences be damned.
