Teams Channels

I am so beyond fed up with all the pins and different threads or channels whatever they’re called on teams. We have a chat for a weekly call but now we have to use a completely different thread to put everything so now we have two probably even three different threads with basically the same group on the same topic.. they’re telling us you can use the chat during the call but use the channel for everything else so all our details are consolidated in one place… how does this make sense?!? I’m so tired of having 50 different places to look for what I need and having my pin go off every 15 seconds throughout the day.. it’s beyond distracting and unproductive at this point.

And I don’t even see the notifications, despite the fact that I followed all the instructions to request that I’m notified about these channels. SO FED UP WITH THIS STUPIDITY. Obnoxious!

It will just end up collecting dust on the shelf along with all of the other tech cr-p they wasted millions on that didn’t pan out. The list is impressive, and I have a favorites folder full of links that no longer work to prove it..

I never realized how good Skype was until now. It feels as if the company is paying a tremendous amount of money to use the whole M365 so they are manufacturing ways to use it. And to further reduce productivity, if you need help trying to make Teams or M365 function properly, you must take hours off of work to spend a very long time typing with Erica for employees and then a chat with a live agent, followed by emails from an unmonitored mailbox telling you your ticket has been closed

Yes this is now a toy for incompetent managers who are incapable of effective communication and direction. Just keep sending incoherent and sloppy messages in teams and think that this is effective communication and think that you're done.

Teams is a garbage platform that just causes endless distractions and adds very little value. It's not a tool, it's just become a toy.

I don't like it - feels very chaotic and distracting. Half the time I don't even see an important message come in amidst people using it during a meeting as a chat session.

THIS! This is Bank of America’s biggest problem - lack of organizational execution! Everything is a patchwork mess, sloppy at best. I have never seen such disorganization in my career that has seen other platforms. I wonder how much money this place would save if it acted like a bank and not a wannabe tech company.
