Enshittify me harder daddy
Not sure the term applies to MS Teams. It was always a rushed shitty product, pushed onto customers during COVID when companies like Zoom gained tons of users. Few people if any asked for it
They literally added an "Upgrade to Premium" button a few weeks ago. Yes, it applies to Teams
I don't know anyone that doesn't use their company teams in the company computer. We don't see any upgrade to premium because we do have the premium.
The main experience of teams is the corporate word, idk if they are enshittifying their main user base.
My company uses our company teams on our company computers, and we do have the "Upgrade to Premium" button, even though our company pays for Teams.
Though I guess it's a great filter - who'd wanna be part of a company that's stupid enough to pay extra for "Teams Premium"?
Uh, I'd think reverse. I don't really want to work in a company that forces me to use a tool where they haven't negotiated enshittification away. They don't pay for the premium features as extra, they usually have commercial licensed on a per user basis and that covers everything.
I wouldn't mind on a small startup where they obviously have pirates windows, but if the consultant firms I have worked don't provide me a non enshittfied experience of the tools I'm forced to use I'd raise hell.
Btw, thanks for reminding me, the client we work for blocked extensions in Firefox, edge and Chrome. Gotta raise hell until I get them back.
Wait, you'd seriously throw a tantrum because you don't have useless AI features enabled? That's sad.
No, I'd throw a tantrum if I saw the button. I'd want the basics covered and then no visual of any "enable moar" features. Way to misunderstand my post qq
I push for open source whenever I can, but in the end, I'm forced to use teams and this isn't a bad feature imo.
then push for email
Emails are slow and bothersome, and I can't edit them. Long email chains get very confusing as well in my experience, group chats between a few people are easier to handle.
They're not confusing if people don't top-post or include miles of signatures.
