My company device already has so much surveillance on it that this won't make a meaningful difference to me.
However, given that they can't even get my activity status right, I don't see it going well. For example It sets me we idle even if I'm typing furiously in my editor, unless I go wave my mouse cursor in Teams for a few seconds. Other chat apps got this right decades ago.
It doesn't deliver messages or delivers them out of order. Unread status on messages doesn't work right. It crashes randomly. I could go on.
Fix the core functionality, Microsoft, instead of adding all kinds of big brother bullshit. I don't trust Teams to get anything right and neither should my manager.
Even better when you have multiple machines logged in.
I am simultaneously presenting in a call and magically away from my desk, soon to be while working remotely and sitting at a desk in the office.
Fucking idiots.
