Ask your company to consider using Microsoft Teams instead. It's so repulsive that you and everyone else will probably be far less willing to communicate at all.

Only half-joking.



Haha I just posted here that we seriously switched to MS Teams at some point for that exact reason, but couldn’t stomach it, it really is just worse than “bad enough not to use it much”


A sad salute from a company which mandated teams and force installed it on every person’s desktop.


Slack is getting there “are you sure you wanna make a call, huddles! (presses yes) … are you sure you wanna make a call, huddles! (presses yes) … are you sure you wanna make a call, huddles! (presses yes) …”

And channel bloat that makes my Christmas tree lights jealous.


Slack is right. Calls only work in app and huddles work everywhere including Firefox. Make you coworkers' day sunny by never using calls.


Omg, Chats and Teams separation which forces you to constantly click between these is real ADHD amplifier. Company switched from Slack to Teams because the latter comes free with Office365. I hate it!


Only click on Teams if you have notifications. Otherwise I only look at teams twice a week. Teams are unusable otherwise as you have to scroll around the multi-scren channel list and everyone involved should be already aware of that and always @mention everyone needed.


Believe it or not, Teams/Outlook are actually a lot less awful on Mac OS.


Not sure how you came to that conclusion regarding outlook, one of the reasons I moved to Windows from osx was the mac version of outlook was so terrible.


This is so true though.


How lucky, we use Zoom as team's chat.


You had me in the first half there


Haha brilliant
