Keep up the pressure. We went through the same thing, but after a year of Teams misadventure, except finally realized the savings wasn’t worth it
Comment on How/why does Microsoft teams exist?
TedZanzibar@feddit.uk 1 day agoExactly this. We used to run Mattermost (essentially Slack but hosted on-prem) and Zoom, and everybody loved the combination. Then the bean counters got involved, saw that we were paying extra for something that was already included with our 365 subscription, and that was that.
Now we’re stuck with shitty Teams and its shitty Electron app that seems to come up with new ways to not work on a near daily basis. So much so that “Teams be Teamsing” has become a defacto phrase for when something janky happens.

Ye gods I lived exactly through this. We had Mattermost installed on test server and it was like night and day with Teams. But as you say, the bean counters don’t care if you’re happy. “We already got Mattermost at home!” they said. And so Mattermost was abandoned for Teams which is indeed already present in the ecosystem and isn’t going away any time soon. Like herpes.
