Outlook, Outlook Calendar, Teams, SharePoint... I'm honestly baffled by how bad they are. It's like it was made by aliens who only sort of understand what human beings want. And, of course, Microsoft is super selective about their product managers and pays them a ton of money--even though a golden retriever could have come up with a better UX. Literally all they had to do was fucking copy Google.

    IT guy here. At my soon to be former job, we assign licenses for O365 for users. The instructions are basically "uncheck all these stupid, pointless apps, and assign them only the ones that actually make sense for us to have."

        I'm not a sysadmin, so no, I have not. But I heard from them that it was a pain to implement, and it was a pain for me, since it confused the hell out of the users and I had to help them.

        Recently, they ALSO decided to implement Microsoft Authenticator, so now it's even worse.

      I think my company's IT team got the instruction "give them all the apps, but uncheck all the settings so that they can't configure anything"

        This is my life. It is hell. I cannot make any teams in Microsoft teams and I want to scream. We have a 4300+ person company all dumped into a single team. It is hell. Why am i alive.
