Hybrid work in an uncertain economic climate is causing many leaders to rethink how to scale meaningful connections among their distributed teams. More than half (51 percent) of employees surveyed for our Work Trend Index say relationships outside their immediate work group have weakened.

For over 10 years, Yammer has been the social fabric for Microsoft’s productivity cloud, bringing community and conversations into the apps that people work in daily. However, in an increasingly distributed world of work, community engagement is essential to how people and teams come together and is a critical pillar of the employee experience, which is why last year we introduced Microsoft Viva Engage, an evolution of the Yammer Communities app in Microsoft Teams, as the newest part of Microsoft Viva.


My team started posting relatively important announcements on Viva Engage instead of via email, so now we are expected to check it daily, as well as 5-6 other Viva Engage communities. Thats productive.

it took me years to realize the yammer beer pong tables were some microsoft product branded beer pong tables not just the name brand of some type of beer pong table. like what's the difference between a yammer table and your standard folding table?

i'll admit, i'm not a smart man, but the yammer beer pong table is my only yammer memory.

I get about 5 yammer/viva engage emails each day which is great because it’s supposed to replace email

for those of you who haven’t used it, it’s like Nextdoor but only your company

i had an employee at a client demand teams and sharepoint admin so that they could implement viva, so we scheduled a meeting with them and their boss to ask: which viva? for what? do you understand how much you have to pay for licenses to use half the viva features?

turns out the answers were "there's more than one?", "i don't know?", and "no" respectively

also fun, depending on what path you take through the viva admin panels, you'll end up on a bunch of yammer domains

this is my experience with anything microsoft. follow a link and you end up on a page for one of the product's previous incarnations. had that happen with apps, documentation, and apis. also weird account authentication issues where you're supposed to be using your one microsoft account everywhere but somehow this particular product was never entirely updated or something so it refers to types of accounts that may or may not exist anymore, so it keeps asking you to login and vomiting backend errors at you and you're stuck in authentication hell. sometimes it works the next day for no reason

My favorite is when our very publicly anti-microsoft CEO, got Yammer to use instead of MS Communicator or Skype. The literal next day after signing the Yammer contract, Microsoft announced they were purchasing Yammer. We had to use Yammer for 4 years for IMs to teammates, which it was very much not designed for.
