Why do you hate Teams/Why is Teams despised?
This is gonna sound like a troll post but i assure you it is not.
I don't have a coding background but I've used Teams in a lot of workplaces and really only encountered like 2 issues entirely.
Either I got seriously lucky or it was before enshittification.
Why do you yourself dislike it? Is it UI? Performance?
I should also say I use Teams for basic purposes like messaging and uploading files, I literally don't touch anything else and performance hadn't been an issue. (Likely because I've been given thicc-ass workstations in the past)
You're viewing a single thread.
I don't hate or despise teams. It's far more useful in most normal office environments to have your communication and your collaboration occur in one tool.
I think most of the people that hate it are trying to only use it for communication, usually because they received no training on how to use the collaboration parts or an unwillingness by the organization to change the way they are doing things when they got M365 licenses.
If you still have a shared network drive while you're using Teams, your organization is doing it wrong.
If you are sending attachments in e-mails while you're using Teams, your organization is doing it wrong.
If you are sending e-mails to get things approved while you're using Teams, your organization is doing it wrong.
If you aren't using planner to co-ordinate tasks for small groups of people while you're using Teams, your organization is doing it wrong.
If your organization is paying for m365 licenses just for you to have e-mail and the desktop office suite, they're doing it wrong.
Get TRAINING
So basically Microsoft demands using their whole ecosystem if you want their services to actually be useful?
Use the correct tool for the job.
If you only want a communications tool, only get a communications tool.
Don't get mad when you pay for an integrated suite of products, and then find it annoying that there are more features than you need.
Tbf the people who find it annoying usually have no say in what the company uses. The problem isn't that there are more features but that each feature doesn't work correctly in isolation.
The literal point of teams it is to integrate systems from the entire ecosystem, using them in isolation is antithetical to that.
Eh, no, we have to have a shared network drive because we are not allowed to upload things with eg personal information to Microsoft
If you have a m365 account, what data are you not allowed to upload that isn't already found in your e-mails? Are you not allowed to talk about that information in e-mails either? At that point, why bother having m365 at all?
This is one of the stupidest security takes that I've seen organizations take, pretending like some data is more secure on their own servers than in the M365 cloud.
We self host or exchange server. It seems you are the one that is stupid.
Edit: and yes, I'm in the EU where we have data protection legislation.
So why do you have M365 then?
You aren't using it for e-mail, you aren't using it for file storage, but you're using it to host meetings?
What a stupid concept, get a fucking communications tool that is ONLY a communications tool.
I would love to.
We are using it for file storage. Just not for everything.
I hate your IT department.
