That’s all.

EDIT: Thank you all for detailing your experience with, and hatred for, this miserable product. Your display of solidarity is inspiring. Now, say it with me:

Fuck Microsoft

Microsoft Teams isn’t all bad! For example, it bogged down my work computer so much at start up that I would basically get an extra break.

It temporarily deletes my meetings just before they happen, so that I don't have to attend them!

Of course, when I open it later, the meetings are restored, with the original date, and no trace of the deletion. So not attending them is quite hard to explain to others. But it does save me from attending!

The one problem with that is that I need to know I'm not being told about a meeting to take a print.

Just do in what I do. Don't join meetings most of the time. That way when you do it is noteworthy to the meeting stakeholder.

Yeah sure my manglers through the years try to have 'the talk' but after awhile of training them via sheer apathy they shut the fuck up.

I solve complex problems, get my tasks done, I'm independent and I stay busy because I'll get bored. Most meetings could just be an email. There's no real collaboration except managers or scrum masters asking what your blockers are but not actually doing anything about it. If I think the meeting will be a waste of my time I just don't show up.
