Having interviewed many people from there, I can only assume they hire anyone with a pulse and give them major features to write in a language they don’t know.

I'm unfortunately using Teams. It's really such a comprehensive piece of shit.

I can't share photos in a channel w/ a customer. Why? No idea. There's no feedback at all. Drag and drop simply fails. Uploads won't go. I went through support and there's 5 different places in the admin to check. All of them seem fine.

I did a Teams call today. Neither of us could work out how to share our whole screen, only invidual apps, which was a massive pain.

This often breaks after a call has had interrupted shares and you have to leave and come back. This is one bug where you don't have to also reboot, great improvement MS!

Likely because of a police. Same for sharing of files ( pictures)

I had an issue with drag and drop which to me is just related to a very crappy UI. I have to drag and drop my file exactly inside my small chatbox, and if it's in another place, it won't work. Such nonsense.

you can try copy pasting. For some reason drag and drop doesnt work on some channels

I try to explain to people how consistent under-market salaries and a combative work environment has thoroughly brain drained Microsoft. It's really hard to turn that around.

From using their products it seems they just don't value excellence. I think everything else is downstream of that (e.g. if they did, they'd pay more, optimize the work environment, etc.).

Excellence is threatening to those who have prioritized politicking above all else so they'll actively work against it.

Well said and so true. It’s a pity really since there is so much wasted human energy involved.

Might be time for me to apply ...

If they don't dogfood it (or dogpoop it, in this case), that would be one away to avoid working at a company where you have to use Microsoft Teams.
