    Teams is bloated garbage.

    I miss Slack, though circa several years back. “Just worked,” on most any platform, without the BS or “help”.

    Wouldn’t like it now, I’m sure, but haven’t had a chance to use it since I started working for a co who is “all in” on MS, including foisting AI on us.

    I am capable of drafting an email or message, bitches. If I am concerned about tone, etc., I’d prefer to employ an actual human I have a close relationship with to review the same.

    I have zero desire to be constantly corrected, and there are certain niche scenarios where very minor errors are actually endearing, and indicate enthusiasm.

    “Bob, I saw the posting for your role, can you tell me about your avg day?” is effective because it’s honest, coherent, and just excited enough that you made a minor error that slipped through.

    When Bob gets 25 of those emails and they all look the same because AI, it’s much harder to make the connection.

      i never had the “pleasure” to use teams. Is it also replacing outlook? And is it worse somehow than fucking outlook?!

      minor error

      It was a the comma splice, wasn’t it? Depending on Bob’s cohort, he may never notice.

      … and if I was receiving notes and questions about a role, an error like “emails” would earn relegation for sure; so be careful which error you leave in.
