My current place of work does this. Everything is Teams/Office 365 shared and 90% of engineering docs are PowerPoint slides.
As stupid as that sounds, it works ok.

Press the sync button in Teams. It will sync the files to your file explorer in Windows.

SharePoint (which Teams is mostly just a front end for on the file sharing side) has a ton of advantages over sharing files off of a local server.

I have come to discourse on the profound inequities of the American political system.

Every single decision in business ,especially public traded corporate business, can be predicated upon quarterly statements. Shockingly, this incredibly myopic focus on "the next quarter" creates the most idiotic penny-wise and pound-foolish business decisions. At first it shocked me. Now, nothing matters.

My new place is all in on Office365 and all the things that come with it.

Did you know if you send someone a file on teams that usually lives on sharepoint, it doesn’t actually send them the file it just gives them a link to the original file that looks exactly like a sent file.

That’s not really a big deal until it’s, say, a template, and the person who ‘received’ the file doesn’t know they need to save themselves an actual copy before they start loving with it so they just gently caress with it as-is and then save it, overwriting the nice neat and tidy template with whatever the gently caress they just did to it.

The solution to this that I see used is to lock down permissions on those server-based templates and insert a note that instructs the user to save their own copy.

Johnny Truant posted:

Agreed.

Quickest way to make me groan is by telling me to get a file located in a teams chat or folder.

Mostly because my IM's are nuts. Literally, there are times when I'm bouncing between 5 people who all need answers NOW. Going back and forth from file folder to document to IM then having it close the document then having to find it and reopen it again gets irritating quick. Though I have mostly now got it configured to not open up files in the teams browser.

I also love how it has ZERO respect for "do not disturb" status -- the chats just keep coming through and flashing for attention. I'm asking to not be disturbed for a reason most of the time, you know?

And why does it look and feel like a MySpace chat app from 2006? It is UGLY. I've nicknamed it Barney.

Hold up. So if I sync my file explorer with teams, and I'm using filestream with drive, then I can staff using either/or/both and it'll all work?

SharePoint has built in versioning and you can restore the original in like 5 clicks.

As of tomorrow we are adding a seventh... thing. I'm not even sure what the new thing does. SharePoint. Adding a seventh thing does not in any way decrease reliance upon things one through six, of course. Thing seven is going to increase efficiency though! I think thing seven is supposed to eventually replace thing five, but until thing five becomes fully obsolete then we are required to duplicate all work. I think.

Thing seven is mandatory.

SharePoint is nice if you have a fully staffed and controlling IT department willing to fully implement active directory based sign on and somebody(s) willing to manage accesses and permissions.

Otherwise, enabling one drive or SharePoint sync with windows explorer is a nice way to create really dumb problems for people who don't always connect from the same network.

Guess the section head for the restaurant, and thus my immediate manager and point of contact in this company is being transferred next month. I'm just really hoping that I'm not back at square one again with the new guy when it happens. Don't really want to have yet another meeting with an executive laboriously explaining their groundbreaking ideas like "fruit beers" (but with some particular fruit they have in mind, usually one with very little flavor so it'll have zero effect after fermentation), "beers that are brightly colored, also sweet?", "Asahi Super Dry", etc. Also pretty sure this means any chance of getting a raise down the toilet. Was gonna ask after it'd been a year, maybe I'll try that again before the current guy leaves.

Today was supposed to be a bottling day. I'm the only brewery staff so they have people from the company help since most of helping with bottling is unloading and it's not too hard to teach someone, especially at our volume. One of the people who was going to help had to back out due to covid exposure, so it was down to me and the assistant manager. He shows up this morning with a sore throat because he didn't have a fever. I call my boss and, fortunately he's not a psychopath, so bottling is delayed to next week.

I just started a new job last week and everything is great. Also, there's a massive Trump flag suspended from the rafters looming over the production line. Nobody ever mentions it, not my coworkers, not the owners nor the managers... nobody. Aside from the weirdness of it everybody is very friendly and nice and everything is kept very professional. It just seems funny that there'd be any flag at all so large and so present and nobody mentions it.

Up to 13 ppl out with covid. At a shop of 50. Finally got me after 2.5 years of ducking this poo poo.

One known exposure got sent home friday... and came right back after his wife threw a fit at him. Idk if she wants the money or a side piece was coming over but they let him come back lol.

I'm exited to see if masks make a comeback or if they're really gonna wait till someone dies.

I left a work place that had Trump things in the office. I didn't think much of it and figured it was a stress release thing they'd throw around and dunk on because they were generally cool. It was weird but it never came up and eventually I hid most of it by boxes and poo poo.

But then the pandemic happened, and then the facade went away when we went to WFH and it turns out that whoops! All Trump supporters saying all the usual sound bites for the pandemic and everything else. Hilary was a runner of child sex dungeons and our state government was a part of the woke conspiracy trying to control us with barely lockdowns and vaccine mandates.

I live in Australia. None of my co-workers were American, and the Americans in the company kept their distance from the Australian team which I came to realise afterwards when one of them commented to me, "We always thought you were like the other Australians in this business, how do you put up with them?", which was a pretty good indication to leg it and not look back.

It's only a matter of time before they feel comfortable and think you're one of them and you start seeing some more red coloured flags popping up in tiny places.

I had a guy turn up on a teams call wearing a MAGA hat last year, at my very British job in Britain.

He was one of those “I’m just asking questions!” dickheads so everyone else on the call knew it was a cry for attention, and he very disappointedly took it off about 20 minutes in since nobody was talking about it.

Yeah. I stopped going to a craft beer place in my neighborhood because the Australian guy who's almost literally always there would just start ranting at me about the latest thing Tucker Carlson wants people to be outraged about. Dude's in his twenties. Youngest Boomer I've ever met. And it's like "Dude. This is stuff in America. It has no bearing on loving anything in your life!" But I guess he was real mad about the "animals" protesting the police. Real subtle.
