My previous job was tech support for multiple companies. One of our clients was using Salesforce. Another client used Jira.
A handful of clients were using their own Teams to which I had to connect or run using Citrix and Pulse Secure/Ivanti. Sometimes I had to juggle between three or four Teams.
I'm so glad I quit. I can only hope my next employer won't use Teams, but I won't hold my breath.
Teams now has a multi-account feature, whoch really changes things

I've never understood the hatred for Teams. I don't particularly like Slack, and Teams (from my limited experience using it) doesn't seem that much worse.
Literally every week I encounter new bugs, it gets worse and worse. Many very basic features (like inline code with back ticks) just stopped working months ago and don't work anymore. Scrolling in some channels is completely broken, jumping around wildly. Sometimes messages just don't get sent (both on Android & Web). Sometimes calls work perfectly all day, then the next call just randomly changes audio device settings and I have to find what's wrong again. Sometimes the video stream of a shared screen just doesn't work, or stops working when switching to the small pop-up window while looking at chats, so the other person has to re-share. Sometimes the "available" state is just broken and keeps getting set to "away". The search just doesn't find many things, even when searching with fairly exact parameters.
It's a daily source of frustration & literally gets worse by the week. I can't remember a program that's made me angry as much as Teams has.

next time my job asks me to install teams on my phone, I'm gonna hand them a list of rental costs for access to my phone/internet and to cover any security related issues.
Why would they ask to install something on my phone? It's my phone, not theirs.
They could ask, but I think that's all they can do with my phone.

Now you're being silly.

Not having to use windows is the very basic
So basic it should be a human right.

I would prefer Jira over ServiceNow, my previous job had jira and it ran smooth, ServiceNow is just a clunky mess
I've worked at a company that used both. One for development the other for support tickets.
The idea that people would use ServiceNow for development tasks is scary.

Good alternative, not fantasy.

My company also uses both. We create support tickets in ServiceNow but it is also used for requesting access to different programs and network drives. It has been used for a couple of years and I have still not figured out how to see what I have access to, which feels like a basic feature.

Except worse: Confluence tries insanely hard to prevent anyone actually getting at the document source code. So you are expected to use the godawful interactive web editor to make any changes.

GitHub tickets are fine.
Jira is complicated because PMs want it to do everything. It can, but there's no good reason for it.

Do you leave auto formatting on and deal with Confluence making bad decisions, or leave it off and have to manually set all the formatting?
I go for the second option, but I'm not sure it's less irritating or not.

Nah it sucks. You don't get a fucking notification when someone messages you on a different organization. For fuck's sake.

inline code with back ticks
Have you noticed that there are now three ways to enter block-formatted, monospace text?
