Was supposed to have a meeting with Altaro this morning and those ass hats only will talk via Teams. And Teams Web is disabled. So I got up early for a meeting that it doesn't even let me join because they can't afford an IT to know how to pick a professional tool. It's not like this stuff isn't free. Using Teams internally is pathetic, but whatever. Pushing it as an external tool and blocking the use of it via a web page is unprofessional to the extreme.
Thankfully after a bit of back and forth, the tech involved was willing to hop over to a web based tool and we were able to get into the meeting.
all of your own personal opinions beside - Have you used Teams on the web? It's aweful. I'm not surprised they have to disabled for possibly mutliple reasons - 1) it's aweful, 2) might be a security situation, Administration might not want people sharing Teams with outside entities. (this is only a possibility/Guess)
I might be the only person on ML that doesn't mind Teams.
You're not.

back in the office for the first time this morning..
any guesses how long i'll be by myself today ?Either too long or not long enough.
Not long enough ,
I've already been told that I should have been here last week by someone in the corporate office.I have been in the office every work day since the quarantine started, but usually for only an hour or less. But I'm the only one on the 5th floor when I'm here, and there are probably less than 10 people total in the whole building.
Well as you might remember, my Son's mom's boyfriend came in contact with a person who tested positive.
He was around my son after being exposed, and his mom was exposed. then around my son as well.
So we did a mandatory 2 week quarantine as instructed by doctors.
and I'm getting lash backs from the corporate office - basically challenging my reason for staying home.Hold the phone - you stayed home solely because the doc suggested it? Your office didn't mandate it? (don't make any inferences from my question, Scott)
Not solely, My boss told me to stay home.
yeah - so it boils down to that yelling person was uninformed on the situation - hopefully they cooled their jets when they were fully brought up to date.

and I'm getting lash backs from the corporate office - basically challenging my reason for staying home.We knew someone that had that happen and it was recommended to call the police. And they did, and the police got involved for someone intentionally pushing against COVID orders to expose staff (and in that case, children too.) The police were really helpful and responded super quickly. That wasn't Nebraska, so it depends on if COVID quarantines are something you are supposed to honour or not. But there are generally mechanisms for this.
First day back in after this quarantine, and I get attitude from someone who doesn't know the full story.
Yeah. Depending on their actions and how the local jurisdiction takes it, that can be taken pretty seriously. Pushing known exposures to expose others can vary from "completely ignored" to "seen as an intentional act of terrorism". All depends on your police. A girl posting that she intended to do similar expose here in Texas ended in the later. And that was intended, just a claim, not actually doing it.
Yeah, Insinuating that I should have been fine to come in , knowing there was direct 3rd person exposure to my son is BS.
Anyone saying that you should come in without knowing if it is safe is a problem. That he doesn't know the story doesn't make him less responsible. It's his responsibility to find out before pushing you to put people in danger.

She won't listen. She's right, i'm wrong nothing else to it.

Yes, and it IS awful. But have you used it not on the web? It's also awful, but makes you install malware. And in this case, doesn't even work!

What's weird is that they weren't even using Teams for screensharing, just for audio.
Not really - many places haven't taught people how to screen share, or how to use webcams... hell it's borderline amazing they got audio to work, though, really? just audio, is there phone system unable to do conference calling?
Correct, we don't think that they have a working phone system. It's a very small company (hence Teams at all) and doesn't really have the resources for stuff like phones it seems. They use people all over the world and as people who do phones for companies, the average IT person today isn't even aware that locality doesn't stop you from having working phones. It's amazing how little the average IT department can even evaluate phones let alone manage them.

Well, I talked to my boss about it this morning, and it's one person's opinion, because no one else knew I was out of the office on the corporate side.
But if it continues to be a problem my boss will go to them telling them the story and she'll handle it.
I guess.
They wouldn't listen to me , maybe they'll listen to her' -

Well no one yelled, I almost did, but - I didn't .
But her opinion doesn't affect me how Hard I was working while at home. -

If HR doesn't take action, you have a serious problem. One that literally puts the community and country at risk. Just because things are reopening doesn't mean that intentionally exposing others isn't still classified as domestic terrorism.

You're not.
There is a HUGE gap between minding using it, and using it to represent the incompetence and uncaring of your company.
It's unprofessional at best. It's insulting for sure. It's a waste of customer time.
-
But thankfully once they learned that things weren't working, the Altaro tech was great about switching over to something else. So the tech was definitely doing the right thing to get things working. He's been great. Why they give him Teams as how to schedule meetings I have no idea.

I use Teams very heavily. There are things that it could do better. Just like other tools have gaps as well. It is a tool and it does most of what I need it to.
