thoughts on #Yammer
apparently somebody at #Microsoft got finally the idea a product called yammer might have a negative spin on target users, so a rebranding surfaced,
now it's called #VivaEngage
oh 😎 you say,
what's new you ask? 🤨
well the name in the app gallery has changed, that's all 🤪
not even URLs changed, which is good, but it doesn't help a bit,
the service performs like on the original name, let's yammer about.

Wow, #Microsoft is in some 💩 this morning!

13 years ago today, I signed up for my first #Yammer network at work.🥳 Shadow IT was so cool back then, even though not many others showed up to the party.

We're approaching the end of my first week back at #Microsoft and I'm bitterly disappointed to know the #Yammer group "Keanu Reeves for Business" has been deleted. 😢

Where am I going to get all the latest Keanu Reeves memes now?!

I got a good group of people using #Slack at work back in ~2014. Once we all went home, MS #Teams became the official standard, and it is bad. Now we also use #Yammer.

Pretty much all #microsoft products I use these days are bad, either by being slow, not working right, or (usually) both. The context switching in Teams constantly wears me down. The focus on "files get stored anywhere in the cloud we decide" make my life harder.

How do I deal with this?
