Extremely-unpleasant tools can definitely contribute to leaving a company. I agree that it's a silly reason on its own, but it can be one factor of many—I mean, of course QOL at work is a factor in stay/leave decisions.

You must not have to use Teams much at work. It really is that bad!

I daresay you have little career experience, and must be an extremely entitled, fragile person if you think it "really is that bad."

I have been using it at my company since 2017 when it REALLY WAS that bad. We were even coming from Slack. But it has been years since I was actually inconvenienced by it.

In it's current state, it is NOT an inconvenience that rises to the level of leaving a company. I'm saying it would be idiotic, childish, and extremely entitled to leave Microsoft over the company's choice of video conferencing software.

And this is coming non-Microsoft employees with no skin, complaining about a company policy they will never have to experience.

What’s a spectrumite?

It was an admittedly childish insult directed at anyone who got their panties in a bunch about the choice of video conferencing software at a company they don't even work for.

I understood it as a reference to those claiming autism spectrum.

In that case, what a sad, pathetic weak-minded little man he is.

A good reminder why I shouldn’t come to hacker news anymore.

What I said was a guess based on my contextual perception of the unknown term 'spectrumite', not a literal explanation.

No I think you’re right.

I think you understood exactly what I meant the first time, but then feigned ignorance in order to be able to virtual signal and say the same tired old line "this is why I don't come here anymore" as you continue to lurk.

I think you are sad and lonely.
