This should every Friday afternoon

Because it works so well normally…
It kinda happened for us, sometime messages wouldn’t send for an hour, and then a chat would just re-order all the messages so that nothing made sense any more.
Sent a relatively new and somewhat nervous co-worker a “grandpasimpsonleave.gif” responding to the 8 billionth mutual emergency of the day followed immediately by “I kid, I kid, we’ll fix it! 😉 [Relevant follow up question]?”
Guess which of those two messages was the last one unaffected by the outage? Yep. I got to watch her devolve into a panic as her messages reached me and my responses didn’t get sent to her, and THEN delivered in the worst order/selection possible. Felt like the more critical the message, the less likely to send.
And! She’s on the other side of the continent and all her location’s phones are through teams also! And it was time sensitive.
Rough Friday.
Same, I first noticed it when I saw a notification for a message from our Dept head and was like, “Oh shit, what do they need?” Then I looked in Teams and it was crickets and I’m wondering if I just imagined that. We had a super disjointed conversation thread and eventually I just turned off Teams because it was getting super aggravating and we had to switch to email.
It never went fully down for us. Just stopped responding immediately. Yeah, not ideal on a Friday when everyone is trying to get their week finished.
I used this app a few times in college… It SUCKS. It’s so slow, choppy… I really don’t understand how Microsoft is really bad at making web app… Probably with the exception of Vscode…
Really annoying considering skype works well (or at least used to, haven’t used in a while) and MS bought skype…
Yeah, Skype has sucked for quite a while now too.
As someone who loathes Teams…you should try the new version. It was, supposedly, rebuilt from the ground up. It has a lot more pop-out features, supports multi-org, and I can even be using pop out windows from one org while actively in another.
That said…Teams is still pretty shitty to me. Even if it’s leagues better than it was. The shitty keyboard shortcuts alone kill me.
Okay here’s my fucking beef though- there are FOUR DIFFERENT VERSIONS of teams that can be installed, team classic personal and work, and the new teams, personal and work. If you install 2 of the four, the OS is incapable of differentiating between them. Opening meeting links on your calendar in teams for work will sometimes open it in teams personal(why does this even fucking exist??)
So at best you have to join as a guest, at worst you can’t join at all.
And they PREINSTALL the dogshit personal version on windows 11, which doesn’t even allow you to sign into a work account- it says account does not exist.
Anyway Fuck teams
No argument there!
it’s just a trillion dollar company, I think you have to take that into account. They obviously don’t have enough resources to release excellent products.

Some dev at Microsoft took a bullet for the rest of us
Workchat works, Teams does not.
“thousands” oh no
Huh what do you know, it did go quiet for me… like it does every week, from friday noon to monday morning
