Uhuh. Let me know how that works for you, out in a real corporate setting.
In my experience you can say all you want (if you’re lucky), but in the end, switching providers on a large scale costs a lot of money. And their money is more important than your discomfort.
But the closest thing to the 6 TB Microsoft offers, would be the 10TB from filen at €400 a year. Whereas with Microsoft, it’s only $120 a year and you get all the other services. Say what you will about the quality of MS products, but they are the cheaper option here.
I’m guessing the vast majority of its users are students and corporate employees, neither of which get a say in which software is used.
Everything is political.
That’s debatable, but it might be in your life. However, not everything political is tech.
And my reason for having high standards is that lowering them would expose me to too much garbage.
The reason I’m subscribed here, and not on lemmy.world!technology, is that that place will allow anything that gets clicks - even if it’s only tangentially related to actual tech.
Hence, the amount of rants about Musk is through the roof.
I had higher hopes for this place, but it does require moderation. Your post, with all due respect, is just political circlejerk clickbait.
If the person who tweeted that was the head of a fertiliser company, do you think this post would be fit for a gardening community?
Hmmnope. Replacing it with Russia, or Trump, or whichever political entity didn’t make it any less political for me.
Let’s face it: this post does vaguely concern a tech company - in the sense that it wants to highlight the political opinion or quote of a figurehead of a tech company.
So tell me honestly - is this mostly about tech news, or is it mostly about politics?
I think you accidentally posted this on technology, but you were looking for politics.
You can either pick a battle that you cannot win (assuming you’re not the one in charge of the many millions such a migration would cost). You can just deal with it, or you can look for better circumstances.
You say you’re convincing people, management sees a trouble maker who’s spreading unhappiness.
In my opinion, it’s better to save your energy for something where it can make a change, not a futile attempt at trying to make an institute drop Outlook or Teams, or whatever shitty software we’re talking about.
But hey, this is just my advice. You do you.
