We were among the companies that switched from Slack to Teams. Slack was absolutely overflowing with work activity, side chats, a few random channels. Hundreds if not thousands a day.
Everyone hates Teams so much they only seem to use it as absolute last resort. I see about 10 total messages a day, if that. So yeah, it took us a long time to realize it was even down.
- lostlogin 3y agoHas the reduced chatter helped, or hindered work?
- silisili 3y agoFor me, hindered. We're a remote company, and rather silod at that, so watching chats helped me see who does what, things going on, even help where I could. With Teams it just feels cold and lonely, to be honest. I'd say if everyone knew everything, and just wanted to code all day, it probably would have helped work as there is less random chatter too. But I'm not sure that's ever realistic for a company.
