Yeah, it's fucking ridiculous that a corporate account has a user-upsell ad/button one MUST hit to access the basic settings for the program.

One that admins can't even disable, it's bizarre.
Only way to fix this is for people and corps to stop giving them money for anything.
Stop using American spyware. Theyre basically asking you to pay them to spy on you as well as use their products. Edward Snowden proved his point that we should blacklist the garbage software and hardware that comes from that fascist country.
This is what I think of when I think of Teams: a mish-mashed pile of garbage where each individual component belongs to a different team. And nobody has any idea what any other team is doing.
Dude, (and I’m being 100% honest here). My buddy works on one of the teams teams, and you are entirely correct.
We’ve had this „upgrade to premium“ icon appear on my machine’s teams but not on my workmates‘ which was setup using the same process as mine.
While I sympathize with this issue...
Boy do I dislike articles where the entire headline is "____ is angry about ____".
And people click it, because they're all, "Oh boy, what do I get to be mad about today?"
Most of my career is built on MS's stack (I fell into .NET development and got good at it. Now I'm in the same boat as COBOL, Java, and Ruby-on-Rails devs: I'm basically a software doula.)
Every job I go into now I'm reccomending they get a migration plan for self-hosting and self-owning. The American tech system is collapsing. AI is causing massive ruptures in knowledge: it obscures searches, it deskills devs, it's castrated the junior-senior-principle ladder such that we're not training enough developers to even pass along all of the knowledge of how current systems work. SaaS is reaching the enshittification threshold and all those businesses that moved everything into the cloud are about to discover that they're hostages and the sinking empire will drag down a lot of collateral damage with it.
Weird. I’ve not yet seen this on my Teams. It would piss me off if I did, but then again Teams pisses me off all the time anyway.
