Extremely-unpleasant tools can definitely contribute to leaving a company. I agree that it's a silly reason on its own, but it can be one factor of many—I mean, of course QOL at work is a factor in stay/leave decisions.
You must not have to use Teams much at work. It really is that bad!
I daresay you have little career experience, and must be an extremely entitled, fragile person if you think it "really is that bad."
I have been using it at my company since 2017 when it REALLY WAS that bad. We were even coming from Slack. But it has been years since I was actually inconvenienced by it.
In it's current state, it is NOT an inconvenience that rises to the level of leaving a company. I'm saying it would be idiotic, childish, and extremely entitled to leave Microsoft over the company's choice of video conferencing software.
And this is coming non-Microsoft employees with no skin, complaining about a company policy they will never have to experience.
What’s a spectrumite?
It was an admittedly childish insult directed at anyone who got their panties in a bunch about the choice of video conferencing software at a company they don't even work for.
I understood it as a reference to those claiming autism spectrum.
In that case, what a sad, pathetic weak-minded little man he is.
A good reminder why I shouldn’t come to hacker news anymore.
What I said was a guess based on my contextual perception of the unknown term 'spectrumite', not a literal explanation.
