The thing I hate about Teams is how it's constantly interrupting what I'm doing with notifications. I'm trying to concentrate on some problem or debug some issue then bling-bling...bling....bling-bling...bling and I've lost that concentration.
Though part of it is just how people seem to use Teams at my job. A bunch of @all group chats (the whole channels area is barely touched) and a couple of people having a conversation in one of the chats blissfully unaware they are annoying 30 other people who don't care about whatever they are talking about. Can't just leave the chat as managers and leads seem to think these chats are great way (and the only way) to disseminate important information. Though I may put the chat on mute...then forget I did that for a while...
I'd vastly prefer if people used email instead, unless it's actually truly urgent enough to interrupt everyone's work with it.
