I've only ever used Teams for meetings, found it okay but I have nothing to compare it to.
Sharepoint however; don't get me started, I'll be here all night.

Far more features than Zoom, which is primitive by comparison.

My utter inability to know when to use a semicolon.
What is the point of a semicolon?
Yes of course I've Googled it, but I'm still none the wiser.
"Use a semicolon to join two related independent clauses in place of a comma and a coordinating conjunction"
(Thanks Wikipedia, that really clarified it for me)

Sharepoint is on par with Teams.
Zoom is more reliable and actually works most of the time.

It's more than a comma but not quite a full stop.

It's the Glenn Hoddle of punctuation.
Looks clever, makes you feel like you're in the know, but never actually achieves anything

Have you tried gotomeetings? Much worse than Teams

Yes, bring back an office based server

OK let’s not go mental here. OneDrive is perfectly fine.

We're migrating to OneDrive and Office365 and it is absolutely bewildering to me! I try to open a link that someone has sent me and it says it's not accessible - and i have NO idea why!! If i'm WFH, i never know if it's because i'm not logged in to the work VPN, but i am assured not. It keeps logging me out! So i end up just doing it old-school and saving a copy to my hard drive or the network drive and emailing a copy to people.
My wife migrated her organisation (admittedly rather smaller than mine) to Google, and it seems much simpler by comparison.
Teams works pretty well for us, with the dropouts being attributable to my home modem rather than the system, and we use the chat function for daily communication within the team which i don't think Zoom has.
Anyone remember Skype? Microsoft clearly dropped that like a hot brick and put their eggs in the Teams basket (sorry for the mixed metaphors!!).

Buying a house. Market's supposed to be showing down, right? Well if I'm not backing out after a survey, then I'm being gazumped when I've already bid £15k over the asking price.
I'll have retired by the time we move!

Zoom and Slack is the way forward. We’re a Google shop and it’s OK, until you want to use Excel it seems.
Sounds to me like you need a new IT department TBH. I found OneDrive and 365 together to work seamlessly, it was once you stepped outside their ecosystem things had issues.

My house hunt took so long I had to reduce my mortgage term because it was too close to retirement!

That's kind of an issue too. And then of course repayments go up with a shorter term, so couple that with interest rate rises...
Where's this slowdown I was promised? Well tbf I can see that in the lack of houses offered that I can afford!

What about just sharing files on teams?

I end up muting virtually everything on slack, but it’s integrations are nice and the app works better than Teams for whole company communication I reckon.

Yeah have it muted on my phone for everything apart from direct mentions or DMs.
The boing noise is fucking annoying.

The only issue with that is the people who want to setup a conference call with 50 people in when they could just email me 4 bullet points and I can have it done within 5 minutes.

Nothing worse than being in a meeting of 20 people while 4 people do all the talking. If you genuinely want everyone’s input you need to chair the meeting properly so everyone is asked. Otherwise just email out minutes.

they're just as bad. we get regularly dragged into meetings with the entire company and 99% of the time there's nothing I need to know in the entire meeting.

Fucking “all hands” meetings. Just CEO/manager ego trips.

People calling me when they could message me on teams
“Stop what you are doing and listen to my voice”
I always finish it with ‘email the details’ anyway as I have forgotten what they waffled on about within 30 seconds and I’m doing 10 other things including posting shite on here.

Posting shite? Hopefully you're putting a Sunderland postcode on that.
