Update from a VP at Microsoft: https://x.com/shanselman/status/2041977121686585396?s=46

Amazing that their processes failed and didn't work, so the VP lashes out at everyone calling them out for it. It's not like Microslop isn't a huge organization that is the critical component here. Extremely unprofessional response, I'll reiterate, they see regular users as a nuisance.

  • I guess the real problem is, everybody's inbox is overwhelmed with useless junk.

    Expect someone read and follow instructions in email are not that realistic anymore

    • “Action Required” followed by the shittiest, least detailed, most ambiguous instructions on the planet is a Microslop staple. It’s exhilarating to get a couple of them in the same week.

      The ones that tell you there’s a problem with your MS365 subscription, but don’t tell you which one are an especially exciting challenge to deal with. Bonus points if they warn about “possible data deletion” without specifying what.

    • While I do get a lot of mail, including a lot of spam, it’s not that bad.

      And the real problem is that most commercial companies make their legitimate administrative/legal mails look more & more like spam or phishing mails, not the other way around.

    • >inbox is overwhelmed

      This is (mainly) why I stopped using email.

      If you need to send me something, you'll need to send me a postcard (PO Box).

      Were I to ever go back to digital communication, it would be by whitelists, only.

So, he's upset at users for getting fucked over by his company? Intresting fellow.
