Only one team working to make Teams worse???

They have achieved higher productivity by not using teams themselves.

You've got it reversed. Switching to Teams greatly hastened development, as the team's newfound vitriol and frustration could be channeled toward the end user in a neverending feedback loop.

Literally! They were told to return to office to achieve higher productivity (it was circling the news around September?)

Yes they had an all hands Teams Meeting to say that the Teams Team could no longer work on Teams using Teams remotely from home. Now they need to be part of a team by working in Teams on Teams remotely all over the world from the Teams corporate offices.

I read this in the Denholm Reynholm voice: https://youtube.com/watch?v=ejjtlnZOdgo

It was obviously just a corpo stealth layoff but imagine being told as a Teams developer that Teams is not good enough for remote work

Zoom did this already

But zoom sucks worse than Teams so I don't blame them

Just one team working on Teams, and they are doing their best to make it worse.

I for one encourage them, it apparently needs to be even worse before my work will consider changing

They're asking Copilot for help, so have achieved 10x productivity.
