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

That is the actual reason this happens. Another one is financial people trying to cut costs or something. Slack licensing is not a small cost if you have lots of people.

However it should be said that IT and finance are supposed to support the company, not the other way around. If they're choosing shit services they should be replaced with people who actually support the company.

Yeah but that time is long gone. Finance is throwing number in air of growth and profitability that must be met no matter what, and IT have to battle between what is effective, what the company tell them to do and what the users want, and in many case, the IT has a misplaced elitist attitude, like every user should know the infrastructure by heart and fix their problem themselves.
