So after giving it out as a freebie for years now they get to charge their victims for it separately too. Congratulations to everyone who contributed to this!
Teams is so entrenched in the “enterprise” space there’s no going back for any of them.

My employer just switched from Teams to Slack. Vast improvement in every respect.

you’re missing the point, if it’s a paid add on instead of bundled it won’t be using one monopoly to aid another.
Other competitors will be considered on their merits.
I’ve never seen a company use teams for any reason other than they already have it for free.
And the thought of paying for something that you already have is unthinkable to a CFO… and CFOs tend to run the IT department for some reason.

Fair point, you’re right. I’m just frustrated it took them this long and I haven’t seen the Slack app in years unfortunately :(

Bean counters took over as bosses a long time ago.
