This is gonna sound like a troll post but i assure you it is not.

I don’t have a coding background but I’ve used Teams in a lot of workplaces and really only encountered like 2 issues entirely.

Either I got seriously lucky or it was before enshittification.

Why do you yourself dislike it? Is it UI? Performance?

I should also say I use Teams for basic purposes like messaging and uploading files, I literally don’t touch anything else and performance hadn’t been an issue. (Likely because I’ve been given thicc-ass workstations in the past)

      I understand how people work, managers skimp on training because they think their users will understand without it, and users gripe about software because they didn’t get said training.

      Expecting user training is not a stretch for software. Nobody expects you to know how pivot tables or formulas work in Excel without having received training at some point, but for some reason managers don’t expect the same from Teams’ features.

        Why would I need training for a chat app ?
        I have (as many many others) have used other apps before with no training at all without issues. Teams requires it because its UX is atrocious

          Because it’s not a chat app. It’s a communications and collaboration platform. It has chat in it, but it also contains a significant amount of other functionality that you clearly aren’t even aware of.

          People don’t even know what they don’t know about this app.

          It’s like consider a full RV as a “car”, sure it can get you from a to b, but that’s not really it’s intended use case and you’re going to have a bad time if you’re trying to use it to drop your kids off at school every day. If you know how to drive a car, you’re probably still going to need extra training to both drive and use the features of the RV properly too.

        No matter the amount of training you give me, teams is a shit application and a time sink.

        • chat sucks
        • navigation sucks
        • search sucks
        • the calendar sucks
        • the-run-all-your-apps-in-teams suck

        Its lync merged with sharepoint, created in javascript.

        I’ve yet to meet anyone that can show ROI on going teams.

          Then you haven’t met an entire team that had proper training on how to use it.

          I don’t mean a 1 hour lunch and learn.
