bikeman564™ Posted January 10, 2020 Share #2 Posted January 10, 2020 Don't use teams per se, but I collaborate w/ others in the engineering department often. Our department is the most awesome in the company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BR46 Posted January 10, 2020 Share #4 Posted January 10, 2020 We can't turn left unless Wo46 is in the right position at the right time. On right turns the co-driver weighs down the back tire to keep the back tire from breaking loose. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy Posted January 10, 2020 Share #5 Posted January 10, 2020 It's installed on my computer, but don't think it's completely setup and working. This entire cloud based shit sucks. I've turned off as much of it as I can because everyone in the F'ing company doesn't need to know what fucking excel or word file I have opened or have opened.

maddmaxx ★ Posted January 10, 2020 Share #6 Posted January 10, 2020 I used to. We tended to use brainstorming sessions during the design phase of new systems as folks with different viewpoints could contribute to the overall design.............there's nothing like having an assembler tell you that your new super electronics design looks really great but that no one is going to be able to reach that screw in the corner during assembly. I'm not sure that you are talking about the same "teams" that I am though. I'm speaking of forming teams of people for design meetings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Silly Posted January 10, 2020 Share #7 Posted January 10, 2020 Microsoft was here pushing Teams and it is available as an option. the group I am in already has plenty of collaborative tools. I see no reason to add another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted January 10, 2020 Share #8 Posted January 10, 2020 We do not have teams, or huddle boxes or any of the shit. We are small. The boss will sometimes use stupid words like collaborate, when he wants me and the CTO to give him a cost or a projection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily, even in 2020, most/all of my interaction can still be done in person/on the phone. The organization - thousands of folks - pays a lot of moolah to Microsoft, and I think Teams being implemented is the top level folks trying to justify that massive expenditure???

Longjohn ★ Posted January 10, 2020 Share #15 Posted January 10, 2020 When I worked we didn’t call them teams, we called them crews. I had a good crew, we worked like a team. Sometimes we needed extra people on our crew for certain jobs, they often didn’t work like a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dinneR ★ Posted January 10, 2020 Popular Post Share #16 Posted January 10, 2020 Our boss signed us all up for it. There was a revolt. It was shut down before I had a chance to read the email. We have been living an IT shitshow for two years when the IT staff all quit. Mostly we are sticking to post-it notes on monitors. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted January 10, 2020 Share #18 Posted January 10, 2020 I've used similar software purported to improve connectivity between different people by tracking the minutia of details about various parts of the project which ultimately caused a whole new layer of bodies handling data input and producing reports to management about who was doing what, when and how resulting in fewer people doing the real work while being replaced by more people sitting in cubes and going to meetings where they discussed why projects were late and incomplete and who to chastise for poor performance when in fact it was the concept itself that was flawed as management attempted to implement crap learned in business school classrooms instead of listening to those who were good at doing the job. One sentence.......just as screwed up as the concept. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I missing a great experience by not using it? The cool feature I noticed when they were doing the demo was that two people could edit the same document at the same time. It was an impressive feature that can be both supper useful as well as start brawls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootingstar Posted January 11, 2020 Share #24 Posted January 11, 2020 We have it in our organization but many of us don't use and prefer to use Skype. Group video conferencing is a bit of a pain for initial set-up but I have been in large group Skype conferences...I mean a presenter, 20 people in room and 35 people remoting in. We do have some good technology meeting rms. for a better experience but that's probably not the norm across our organization. And we have a ton of meeting rms. of different technology ages which are used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
