Worse than losing your job?

- dang 4y agoWe've asked you more than once before not to post flamebait comments to HN. If you keep doing it, we're going to have to ban you. I don't want to ban you, so please don't post like this. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- xpe 4y agoPlease explain the relevance of your comment? Also, let's save the National Socialism comparisons for examples involving antisemitism, genocide, and authoritarianism. It is better to have dynamic range in our conversations, otherwise it all gets watered down.
- dan-0 4y agoTeams is horrible, but not nearly as horrible as an argument equating use of Teams to the Holocaust. There's a very big difference between using an app to communicate if you want your job and murder.
- 2devnull 4y agoI’ve always thought of zoom as the national socialist messaging app. Is it the sharepoint integration? That does seem a bit far left.
- ghusto 4y agoFor sure. As somebody said already, at least if you're fired you'll get severance. I'd get nothing when I quit though. Have you _used_ MS Teams? I'm not exactly a fan of Slack, but it's like telepathy by comparison.
- xpe 4y agoI have. It is particularly bad, considering that its technical and UX criteria are not particularly mysterious. Overall, yeah, when corporate policies override reasonable employee productivity, something is off.
- pvarangot 4y agoI would consider taking a pay cut and moving to a cheap suburb and work for the government or a bank before working for a big tech company that uses Teams. I would only use Teams on a small group or some kind of very highly paid consultant gig.
- xpe 4y agoWhat do you prefer, Slack? Something else? I find the whole premise of these kind of chat tools, combined with cultural patterns of using them, to feel like forced distraction.
