Venting about work 

I think it might be time to look for a new job.

They're going to cut off my team from accessing:
• Slack
• Skype
• Dropbox
• Google Drive
• Google Docs
• Gmail
• Telegram
• Trello
• Assembla (our ticketing system and wiki)
and others

They insist they provide everything we need with:
• MS Teams (bad UI & fewer features)
• Skype for Business (company policy doesn't allow chat history or external contacts)
• MS OneDrive (Eh.)
• Company Email
• ServiceNow (…)
• MS Sharepoint

@mawr So um we use MS crap exclusively. What happens is that we just yell at each other across the open office, print things on paper to share files b/c Office Online barely works, use regular speakerphones for interviews because Skype never works, and every three days someone yells "where the fuck did I save my files is it in groups, teams, exchange, onedrive, other onedrive, or network share?!?!".

I work in education tho so we're still functional. Can't imagine this in tech.

@mawr Also Teams takes up more memory than all my Chrome and Firefox tabs (which contain two Slack tabs, three YouTube tabs, and at least two Trello tabs) combined so it just stops running in the background and doesn't show notifications ever.
