You still havent given a single reason. You just spout the same shit over and over as if you’re some authority on the topic and we should all just believe things are the way you say they are.
Im sure you are very hard to work with and once this feature is rolled out you’ll still get no one coming by your desk.
You hate MS, I do as well but its not relevant to talk about throwing it all out. This is just about a minor feature release and lemmys overreaction.

Are you trying to say that messaging a co worker to see if theyre in the office is quicker than checking their status?
You’re welcome to continue doing that but that sounds awful and I doubt you’ll do it once this rollsout.
Oh yes all the 0 reasons you mentioned. How could I forget such a convincing argument.
I’m thinking that you may have a social disability and be misunderstanding. This is not for every worker. If you work better communicating over text thats fine your business can accommodate you. But majority of humans communicate best face to face instead of over text or calls. Its not to say you can’t effectively communicate over those mediums.
By that logic dont bother implementing anything because what if it doesnt work.
It’ll work good enough for most and better than the current status situation.
No one needs to know where you are. You aren’t the only person in the world. Different people different usecase.
You do realise talking face to face is objectively better than talking over zoom or text right? I dont know why you keep acting this stupid all over the thread.
If they’re in the office we can talk face to face if theyre at home we teams call. You are actually beyond cooked if you’re unable to understand this.
If your job is as simple as receive instruction return output then I see how this doesnt change much but thats not every job.
If you don’t talk to people why even have an office? This change isnt for fully remote workplaces.
No not really it doesnt necessarily lead to any of that. Communication is human to human in many businesses around the world and it will be that way for many more years. Asking if someone is working from home and waiting for a reply is a pointless waste of time. This will be a welcome change for everyone except developers.
You just have no idea and are lashing out at things you dont understand. You havent even read the article. There is no privacy issue here its not Microsoft tracking any more than they already do and its not employer tracking.
To see if someone’s in office. Example you book a meeting and you check the event in outlook and it shows that everyone’s in office today so you can grab a meeting room and do it in person.
Someone raises a ticket for an issue thats easy to solve manually and you see theyre in tbe office so you go fix it.
Someone is looking for your coworker and you check teams and see hes working over at site B
How can you not see what positive info this would give? Have you never asked someone if they are in the office today, I would find that pretty hard to believe.
No one cares enough to update them thats the point but its still useful to be able to check at a glance if someone is wfh or not. I’m sorry this is such a challenging concept to you to grasp.
For some people maybe this is true but for most it isnt. There are more people where this approach is useful vs not. The feature makes sense and is useful.
No shit that is what is already done every day. Its not meaningfully different from this change other than being slower. You give up nothing by the way there is no privacy argument to be had you’re using Microsoft teams in a work environment.
Why do we have a little dot next to the users name that way people can see if they’re online, offline, away or busy? You can just message them and ask.
Im not a manager but im just struggling to see how you habe such a narrow view of work that you think its that linear. Most roles do require inter team and department cooperation and in those cases it’s nice to be able to check teams and see if someone’s in the office because then you can go talk to them directly.
Why is knowing if someone is wfh or in office such a bad thing to you? Also where someone is is not irrelevant there are plenty of restrictions around work locations.
Its impossible to “ask women” they arent a monolith I would never get anywhere. I have my lived experience and joke with women every day. I have crossed the line enough to get a sense of where it is with the people I interact with. If you’re trying to reign harmless jokes like these memes then you’re fighting a hard fight. The line for whats acceptable online is very blurry.
Idk maybe people need to start making some more women focused memes to get a feel for where the line is on c/memes. Here is one i made off the dome.
I do and its an inferior way of checking their status
Works fine in multinationals that I’ve worked for. Are you telling me that if you’ve got 3 people sitting in the same office and you start a teams call instead of just saying lets grab a meeting room and chat about this? You’re cooked bro I would love to read your shitty book and see your measured outcome.
