If you asked me what I hated most about my job, I would tell you it is Microsoft Teams.
I'm using Teams on three different devices and it's broken in a different way on each of them.
Teams on my phone will randomly stop receiving notifications.
The Teams app on Linux crashes when I try to open a video posted in a meeting on it, and it will also remember that location, so when I re-open it, it immediately dies again. Also I'm pretty sure that in Firefox voice calls were working like a week or two ago, then Microsoft decided that it's not supported again.
The Teams app on Windows lets you select between two different "away" statuses on the tray context menu, but one seems to crash Teams. I may be confusing it with the behavior when I hit the close button on the Teams window, and it just silently crashes: The window disappears but the tray icon stays there like a smug little fucker, pretending Teams is still running until you actually try to click it.
And those examples are just the tip of the iceberg.
Teams is mandated by our parent organization, but people use random other stuff amongst themselves, because Teams just doesn't work. There's some people who set up discord servers for their group, others are using an old slack server the company forgot to shut down, and there's probably people using whatsapp.
Teams is like a mail man who calls in sick every second week, throws letters that he doesn't feel like delivering away, and also tries to make smalltalk for half an hour when all you want him to do is deliver your damn letters.
