A company that builds tools for remote working, doesn't believe in remote working? That doesn't seem a great look.

The remote working fad is over since the pandemic is no more.

I mean, Zoom absolutely blows. Maybe they should try the NeW tEAmS!

Microsoft is trying aggressively to destroy both Zoom and Slack by pushing Teams as "free" (i.e. "Look, it's already included in your Office 365 plan!").

Teams video is... fine (other than the awful UX) which is a death knell for Zoom... but for everything else it is HORRIBLE. As a communication and collaboration platform, Teams is productivity and efficiency cyanide. It is just so badly designed and organized. It's a mess.

But companies will switch anyway, because it's "cheaper"... consequences be damned.

Curious -- not saying it's great, but I don't think the Zoom UX is much better, personally. What bothers you about Teams, if I might ask?

[–] AppleAtCha@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Agree. Zoom chat is unusable IMO.

[–] cutitdown@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, particularly chat in a meeting, it feels so barebones.

This terrifies me. If I am forced to return to the office to do the same thing I do very, very well at home, my entire life will significantly change for the worse. It's not fair that a few deuschbags cab ruin someone else's life so easily and carelessly.

Zoom just wants to protect their employees from being used for AI training that Zoom now uses its users for.
