So what happens to basically like half the global economy if this thing is fried for like a week. Basically the entire world workflow is attached to Microsoft office.

I'm sure if you tell Microsoft how important you are you'll rocket up their priority list.

And if you want to tease it out, we can go back to text messages and phone calls to do business.
The world would be closer to a better place that way - email ruins human interaction from a business standpoint in my view.

Oh, good. Maybe the others will arrive at some point. Maybe by morning it will be up and running again.
I guess that’s all I got. Back to getting nothing. I tried to send myself and email and it didn’t go through. Also could not send anything via my work email

Exactly. My hope is that since everyone is down that there won’t actually be a huge sudden influx of emails
If you have outlook you can’t even send emails. I tried because I thought I was back up and it errored out

While I am sure people & organizations will adapt, I think you’re being naive if you don’t think this will have massive ripple effects in the short term.

My company uses Gmail not outlook but even if Gmail went down we do almost everything communicationwise in Slack.
I was hesitant at first when I changed jobs and went from outlook/teams company to Gmail/slack but slack is so much better.
Now if slack went down or company would halt. But I guess I don’t get to participate in the current fun
My bet is their AI did something stupid and they probably laid off anyone that could fix it with it being Microsoft. Or some really smart, disgruntled employee.

It may run into tomorrow. It doesn't sound like a true root cause has even been identified yet.
Current status: We’re continuing our efforts to improve server stability to improve traffic flow. This includes adjusting traffic protocols, redistributing traffic, and applying strategic traffic blocking measures.
We're observing partial recovery across regions in which we've applied these adjustments; however, these actions aren't resulting in sustained recovery, so we're reviewing what additional actions we can take to improve overall infrastructure stability.

This is one of the crazier things I remember happening.
