Did y’all watch their Copilot demo and what they’re doing with ChatGPT AI? You could ask it to summarize meetings you missed because the meetings happen in Teams and there are transcripts. Middle managers that exist to inform upper managers aren’t going to be as necessary. If someone wants to know what’s happening with a certain team they can just ask Copilot.

I’m not much of a tech guy, but our company switched from Google to Microsoft last year, and it fuggin sucks. Teams chat is clunky compared to Google chat, and same for outlook email vs gmail.

Two very different approaches. MS tries to do everything, and the results are often mediocre. System managers are meant to reduce the software down to features which are most essential for their business, but they rarely do anything beyond blocking.

Google is made to be super simple and minimalistic. In many cases, the functionality comes up short of what is really needed.
