The scale on those graphs is wildly different.

Office have 120 down reports per period. Reddit has 40,000.

Because Reddit is more popular than office.

More people panic from missing memes, than missing excel-sheets.

I wonder if there is a correlation between industry layoffs and outages

Are there more sites that show incidents/outages in sites/networks like this? Aside from maybe looking up individual statuspages...

I'll be pissed if outlook goes down again

As someone not responsible for Outlook, the last time we had Outlook/AD outage ... the sense of calm that I experienced knowing that no one is able to send me any emails even if just for an hour ... cannot be explained in mere words :)

This is not normal. I highly recommend some alterations to your workflow/notification settings/something. You should not spend your whole day getting stressed out by email toasts.
