Teams replaces a lot of clunky functionality well, I will give you that.
Has anyone used Yammer for anything other than an informal recognition tool yet?

I'm sure I'm not the only one who eagerly awaits Ticrosoft Memes.

We've used it as a formal recognition tool. We've got a guy who's been stuck on a project site in the middle of the Pacific since March because of Covid. Our CEO announced on Yammer yesterday that the guy is getting an all expenses paid holiday from us once (if) the world returns to normal.Jimmy Smallsteps wrote: ↑Fri Oct 02, 2020 1:08 pm Teams replaces a lot of clunky functionality well, I will give you that.

Cheese slices - they've halved the thickness of them and now they break everytime you try to get one out of the packet

Credit card companies.
Was seriously pissed of this week upon getting my latest Mastercard statement.
I pay off my bill every month.
Last month I had £0.60 interest to pay and this month I had £3.18 to pay.
Took a bit of working out what the interest was for.
It turns out using my credit card to buy milk at a vending machine is considered a "cash" purchase.
I bought £5.50 worth of milk last month and that is what triggered the £3.18 interest.
What f'ing kind of USURY is that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The credit card company charges the milk vendor extra to use their service too. Fcuking pirates!Glaston wrote: ↑Tue Oct 27, 2020 11:14 am Credit card companies.

People who make careless errors in important emails contrary to what they actually mean to say.
Had a cracker group email today, 10 minutes out from deadline.
"This is a deadline for a print newspaper, so we can flex it."
CAN'T. Can't flex it.

But I hear you. It's the annual fee that stings me.
Sweet memories.
When I started in IT (data processing as it was), we used Lotus 1-2-3. To train users, we would give them a TV/Video combo and they would work their own way through the course at their own pace. On going back to retrieve the kit from a person who had trained themselves, I enquired as to training and were they OK with using a spreadsheet. I received a reply that floored me .. the course covered the selling of fruit and veg ... and she replied that she really enjoyed it and but did not see how a computer package would help her in her medical sales role as she did not sell fruit and veg.
Romans said ....Illegitimi non carborundum --- Today we say .. WTF
Things that annoy me include people who slow a team down at a critical point by sending group emails 10 minutes from a deadline. Stupid even if he/she could spell properly.Jimmy Smallsteps wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 1:15 pm People who make careless errors in important emails contrary to what they actually mean to say.

I drink and I forget things.
I use it as well. And I use the alternatives. Teams has mass adoption because ut's bundled into 365. If companies had to pay for it they would be using an alternative.

My client needed to join a teams meeting for the project we were working on ('load shedding meant that he had no power at his office).
I bought my laptop with W10 pre-installed and repartitioned to dual boot with Linux, but I hardly ever use it.
"No problem", I said, "I'll just install Teams and you can use mine".
Fuck me, what a mission...

To be fair given the nature of the work and the location of the contributors, that is the way it had to be done.Un Pilier wrote: ↑Fri Oct 30, 2020 5:26 pmThings that annoy me include people who slow a team down at a critical point by sending group emails 10 minutes from a deadline.

That's kind of the point of adopting it though - I've used Slack prior to implementing teams.
Slack is gash

TMOs making up new rules on the fly.
What was all that shit about Coles having control of the rugby ball?
He's required to force it, which is what he did.
