Relying on Microsoft software for collaboration has created some of the worst engineering disasters and waste of resources I've ever seen.
The company's motto seems to be that every customer is unique, and has different needs - meanwhile, all the places I've seen had very similar core problems that were amplified by relying on all the different Microsoft solutions used across their teams, and across organizations they had to collaborate with.
Not only that, but colleagues were always unhappy because they were forced to use poorly designed inconsistent tools that are user unfriendly and encouraged mistakes and apathy.
- zmmmmm 5y agoYes - that's the elephant in the room that really spoils his point. Teams is so horrifically bad that we are actively paying for Zoom and Slack even while a free Teams subscription is sitting almost idle. The deeper question is how did Microsoft engineer something so bad when they were literally just cloning other products. What does that say about their forward looking prospects?
