Makes me laugh additionally because the modern conception of "dogfooding" in tech was popularized by Microsoft itself back in the 1990s. This is the opposite of dogfooding and really is a big condemnation of Teams as a software solution for connected work, at least on paper.

Teams wasn't specifically built for remote work though. It was built for internal chat/messaging, document sharing, planning, etc. It is 100% used internally at MS even when people aren't working remotely.

I know because people at MS have been complaining about it since a few years before the pandemic.

This is a fair point, I was being a bit facetious, but I'm sure there are plenty of teams both totally in person and totally remote using it. It is just bad optics I think. Like if Teams isn't useful enough for them that they have to be in person despite having an ostensibly full-featured videoconferencing and calendar coordination and chat, the hell good is it for my organization?
