^ yes but it’s incredibly easy

Zoom? 😆. Thought it was 2021, not 1998. Most of the top shops are on Teams.

like

Teams is a bear. The video and audio quality are garbage compared to Zoom and if you don't don't a great connection bomb out. Zoom may be basic, but it just works. Not to mention, Teams makes my OCD go crazy with the cluster that people create on it with random files, etc.. and setting up a new Team for every damn thing instead of channels and properly managing.

Outlook and Teams

Outlook + Teams for daily use, WebEx for really big presentations. I really like the features in Teams, but the performance can be hit or miss.

One of my senior managers is a boomerang and told me she was laid off when she was 7 months pregnant about 10 years ago. I think she was a senior or manager. She was in a specific group and everybody was laid off. It wasn’t performance based.
