Sweet summer child... just think about those enslaved by Microsoft Teams
2 comments

I just saw an e-mail in my inbox this morning that started with “Slack, one of our main tools for communication and collaboration, is currently unavailable…” and ended with “In the meantime, we recommend using Teams as a workaround.”
Sometimes I have the feeling that different type of communication tools is not an issue.

You can become burned-out using any tool, and even without using any tool.

Instant messaging apps create a higher sense of urgency & expectation of faster responses.

Far easier to abuse by bad actors than email.
